| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The vulnerability is related to out-of-bounds reads in the Linux kernel's USB Audio driver. The current USB-audio driver code does not check the bLength of each descriptor when traversing for clock descriptors, which can lead to out-of-bounds reads if a device provides a bogus descriptor with a shorter bLength. This issue can be exploited by an attacker with physical access to the system, allowing them to gain additional access by reading arbitrary system memory. The vulnerability can also lead to local information disclosure with no additional execution privileges needed.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
