Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The OCC poll response parser in the hwmon module fails to properly validate the boundaries of sensor data blocks. The parser incorrectly uses the static backing-array capacity as the boundary instead of the
data length bytes provided by the transport response. This allows a truncated response to force the parser to consume block headers or block extents outside the valid current response area.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
