 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDKSA-2007:014
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Package : bluez-utils
 Date    : January 15, 2007
 Affected: 2006.0
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 hidd in BlueZ (bluez-utils) before 2.25 allows remote attackers to
 obtain control of the (1) Mouse and (2) Keyboard Human Interface Device
 (HID) via a certain configuration of two HID (PSM) endpoints, operating
 as a server, aka HidAttack.

 hidd is not enabled by default on Mandriva 2006.0. This update adds the
 --nocheck option (disabled by default) to the hidd binary, which
 defaults to rejecting connections from unknown devices unless --nocheck
 is enabled.

 The updated packages have been patched to correct this problem
