CVE-2024-26927: Linux Kernel

High severity, CVSS 8.4. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: SOF: Add some bounds checking to firmware data Smatch complains about "head->full_size - head->header_size" can underflow. To some extent, we're always going to have to trust the firmware a bit. However, it's easy enough to add a check for negatives, and let's add a upper bounds check as well.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 5.19, before 6.1.83 (fixed in 6.1.83); from 6.2, before 6.6.23 (fixed in 6.6.23); from 6.7, before 6.7.11 (fixed in 6.7.11); from 6.8, before 6.8.2 (fixed in 6.8.2)
