Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A potential buffer overflow issue has been identified in the Linux kernel, specifically in the ASoC: Intel: avs component. The issue arises from the use of
snprintf(), which returns the would-be-filled size when the string overflows the given buffer size, potentially leading to a buffer overflow. This issue is considered unrealistic but has been addressed with a patch that replaces snprintf() with a safer version, scnprintf(), to mitigate the potential problem.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
