CVE-2024-41039

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, specifically in the cs dsp function. The vulnerability occurs when the firmware file buffer is not large enough for the wmfw header, allowing an attacker to potentially impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The original code did not properly check the length of the firmware data buffer, which could lead to overrunning the buffer. The patch splits the length check into three separate parts, checking the wmfw header, wmfw adsp? sizes, and wmfw footer separately before they are used.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
