CVE-2024-50074

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description: A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been resolved, specifically in the parport component, related to an array out-of-bounds access. The issue arose from replacing sprintf() calls with snprintf(), which returns the would-be-printed size, not the actual output size, potentially leading to length calculations exceeding the given limit. To address this, scnprintf() is used instead, as it returns the actual output letters.

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