CVE-2024-50288

CVSS v3.1

5.5

Medium

VectorAV: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: A buffer overwrite issue has been resolved in the Linux kernel. The problem occurred when using more than 32 buffers in the video capture queue, causing an out-of-bounds write. This happened because the must blank array was still sized for 32 buffers, despite the maximum number of buffers being increased to 64. A new define MAX VID CAP BUFFERS has been created to access the must blank array and set max num buffers for the video capture queue, solving a reported crash.
Recommendations: At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
