    The name of a Bluetooth device is improperly validated by the hcid
    utility when a remote device attempts to pair itself with a computer.
    </p>

  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    An attacker could create a malicious device name on a Bluetooth
    device resulting in arbitrary commands being executed as root upon
    attempting to pair the device with the computer.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There are no known workarounds at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>

    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-wireless/bluez-utils-2.19"</code>
