Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2021-47636
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
A read out-of-bounds issue has been identified in the `ubifs wbuf write nolock()` function of the Linux kernel. This issue can occur when the `len` parameter is not 8-byte aligned, potentially leading to accessing `buf` out of bounds. The problem arises in the `ubifs wbuf write nolock()` function when it attempts to write data to the `leb` safely, without properly handling the length of the data read from `buf`. This issue can be detected by KASAN, which reports a slab-out-of-bounds error.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
