Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 7.0.11-1.1
Description An issue exists in the command file write() handler where it allocates a kernel buffer based on a user-provided count but fails to validate this buffer against the dot command protocol before it is processed by get dot command size() and get dot command timeout(). Because the allocation size and header fields such as command size and data size are independently controlled by the user, it is possible to trigger out-of-bounds reads in get dot command timeout() and an out-of-bounds memcpy toio() operation, resulting in the leakage of kernel heap memory to the service processor.
Recommendations Update to version 7.0.11-1.1.
