Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.11.0+
Description:
A stack out-of-bounds read issue was reported in the

For Linux kernel versions prior to 6.11.0+, assign to
max directly in the loop body of the tb retimer scan() function to fix the issue.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploit
