CVE-2011-1180: Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the iriap_getvaluebyclass_indication function in net/irda/iriap.c...

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the iriap_getvaluebyclass_indication function in net/irda/iriap.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.39 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging connectivity to an IrDA infrared network and sending a large integer value for a (1) name length or (2) attribute length.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects very old Linux kernels before 2.6.39. An attacker connected to an IrDA infrared network could send oversized length values that corrupt kernel memory, causing a crash and possibly other unspecified impact. The exposure is niche because it depends on IrDA connectivity, but affected kernels are far beyond normal support. Likely exposure is limited to systems running Linux kernels before 2.6.39 with IrDA infrared networking present and reachable. Modern systems are unlikely to be exposed unless they run legacy kernels or vendor kernels missing the backported fix. Prioritize remediation for legacy or embedded systems that still use infrared connectivity. For standard modern Linux fleets, treat this as a legacy exposure check rather than an emergency, unless outdated kernels are present. Mitigation focus: Upgrade to Linux kernel 2.6.39 or a vendor kernel containing the backported fix.; Disable IrDA support where it is not operationally required.; Remove or isolate infrared interfaces on legacy systems..
