Summary

A buffer overflow vulnerability in Sony Ericsson K600i, V600i, W800i, and T68i cell phones allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (reboot or shutdown) via a wireless Bluetooth connection. The attack uses a malformed L2CAP packet where the length field is less than the actual packet length.
