CVSS v3.1

7.8

High

VectorAV: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 issue is related to a potential index out of bounds in the color transformation function. This could occur when the index i exceeds the number of transfer function points (TRANSFER FUNC POINTS). The fix adds a check to ensure i is within bounds before accessing the transfer function points. If i is out of bounds, an error message is logged and the function returns false to indicate an error. The vulnerability may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
