Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description:
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been resolved, specifically in the parport component, related to an array out-of-bounds access. The issue arose from replacing
sprintf() calls with snprintf(), which returns the would-be-printed size, not the actual output size, potentially leading to length calculations exceeding the given limit. To address this, scnprintf() is used instead, as it returns the actual output letters.Recommendations:
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
