A bug in bluez-utils allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands
via shell metacharacters in the Bluetooth device name when invoking the PIN
helper.
For the testing distribution (etch) this is fixed in version 2.19-0.1etch1
For the unstable distribution (sid) this is fixed in version 2.19-1
This upgrade is recommended if you use bluez-utils.
If you have the secure testing lines in your sources.list, you can update by running this command as root:
apt-get update && apt-get install bluez-utils
The Debian testing security team does not track security issues for then stable (sarge) and oldstable (woody) distributions. If stable is vulnerable, the Debian security team will make an announcement once a fix is ready.
To use the Debian testing security archive, add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://secure-testing.debian.net/debian-secure-testing etch/security-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://secure-testing.debian.net/debian-secure-testing etch/security-updates main contrib non-free
