Description:
Kevin Finisterre has reported a vulnerability in Affix, which may be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the "affix_sock_register()" function in "hci.c". This may be exploited to execute arbitrary code inside the kernel by supplying a negative protocol value when creating a socket for the "PF_AFFIX" communication domain.
