    All,

    What vulns exist having an active infrared port on a laptop?

    Besides the obvious (unnecessary open port, automatic connection with other infrared, misconfiguration could allow data retrieval without knowledge, etc.), are there any vulns that should be considered? I just want to ensure I cover all bases.
