Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionNVD
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
libbpf: Fix accessing BTF.ext core_relo header
Update btf_ext_parse_info() to ensure the core_relo header is present before reading its fields. This avoids a potential buffer read overflow reported by the OSS Fuzz project.
AnalysisAI
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: libbpf: Fix accessing BTF.ext core_relo header Update btf_ext_parse_info() to ensure the core_relo header is present before reading. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.5), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. This Buffer Copy without Size Check vulnerability could allow attackers to overflow a buffer to corrupt adjacent memory.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Buffer Copy without Size Check (CWE-120), which allows attackers to overflow a buffer to corrupt adjacent memory. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: libbpf: Fix accessing BTF.ext core_relo header Update btf_ext_parse_info() to ensure the core_relo header is present before reading its fields. This avoids a potential buffer read overflow reported by the OSS Fuzz project. Affected products include: Linux Linux Kernel.
RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available. Apply the latest security update as soon as possible. Always validate buffer sizes before copy operations. Use bounded functions (strncpy, snprintf). Enable compiler protections.
