| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description:
The issue is related to a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Linux kernel's scsi: bfa component. It occurs when a nbytes-sized kernel buffer is allocated and nbytes are copied from userspace to that buffer. Later, sscanf is used on this buffer without ensuring the string is terminated inside the buffer, leading to an out-of-bounds (OOB) read when using sscanf. This can be fixed by using memdup user nul instead of memdup user.
Recommendations:
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
