Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A buffer overflow issue has been identified in the Linux kernel, specifically in the be2net component. The
be cmd read port transceiver data function assumes it is given a buffer of a certain length, but this is not always the case. This can lead to a buffer overflow. The issue is resolved by passing the desired offset and length to be cmd read port transceiver data to prevent excessive byte copying.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
