| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to the 'device name' array in the 'overflow allocation test' function scope. This array is being used as a driver name when calling 'kunit driver create' from 'kunit device register', which produces a kernel panic with KASAN enabled. The variable is used in one place only, and the fix involves removing it and passing the device name into 'kunit device register' directly as an ascii string.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
