CVE-2011-1180 describes multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the Linux kernel's IrDA implementation (iriap_getvaluebyclass_indication function) affecting versions prior to 2.6.39. This critical vulnerability allows remote attackers on an IrDA network to cause a denial of service or potentially other unspecified impact by sending malformed name or attribute length values. With a CVSS score of 9.8, it is easily exploitable over the network with low complexity, leading to high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Despite its severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
