The bnep_add_connection function and cmtp_add_connection function in net/bluetooth/bnep/core.c , net/bluetooth/cmtp/core.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19 does not ensure that an l2cap socket is available, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application. Score: 7.8 high local

Upstream Patches |1| |2| are available and equal to kernel-3.2 backports |1| |2|.
