LinuxSecurity.com: An input validation flaw was found in the Bluetooth Session Description Protocol (SDP) packet parser used in the Bluez bluetooth utilities. A bluetooth device with an already-trusted relationship, or a local user registering a service record via a UNIX socket or D-Bus interface, could cause a crash and potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the hcid daemon (CVE-2008-2374). The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
anyRemote(1) General Commands Manual anyRemote(1)NAME
anyremote - control PC with Bluetooth/Wi-Fi cell phone .br
SYNOPSIS
anyremote [-f file] [-s connect string] [-log] [-a]
[-fe port] [-http] [-u username] [-name SDP service name] [-password]
anyremote -h|-v .br
DESCRIPTION
The overall goal of this project is to provide remote control service on Linux through Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or just TCP/IP connection.
anyRemote supports wide range of modern cell phones like Nokia, HTC, SonyEricsson, Motorola and others.
It was developed as thin "communication" layer between Bluetooth (IR, Wi-Fi)-capabled phone and Linux, and in theory could be configured to
manage almost any software.
anyRemote is console application, but in addition there are GUI front-ends for Gnome and KDE.
OPTIONS -h
print short help and exit
-v
print version number and exit
-f /path/to/configuration/file
By default anyremote will try to find and use $HOME/.anyremote.cfg, then ./.anyremote.cfg. It is possible to specify configuration file
directly with -f option.
-s connect string
where connect string can be one of:
bluetooth:_channel_ (Server mode - bluetooth connection)
socket:_port_ (Server mode - TCP/IP connection)
web:_port_ (Server mode - Web interface)
local:/dev/ircommX (Server mode - IR connection)
rfcomm:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:CC (AT mode - bluetooth connection, where XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is bluetooth device address and CC is channel
number - integer from 1 to 32)
/dev/ttyACM# (AT mode - cable connection)
/dev/ircomm# (AT mode - IR connection)
ilirc:_AF_LOCAL socket file_ (use with inputlircd)
stdin
-log
print verbose logging information to $HOME/.anyRemote/anyremote.log
-a
reconnect automatically in case of connection failure, used only in AT-mode
-fe _port_
Work as backend for GUI frontend. Use specified port to connect to frontend.
-name SDP_service_name
if bluetooth connection is used, allows one to specify SDP service name.
Default value for SDP service name is "anyRemote"
-password
If this option is specified, then anyRemote will ask the client for the password.
Password phrase should be stored in $HOME/.anyRemote/password file in plain text.
-u|--user _username_
