DescriptionNVD

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

comedi: me_daq: Fix potential overrun of firmware buffer

me2600_xilinx_download() loads the firmware that was requested by request_firmware(). It is possible for it to overrun the source buffer because it blindly trusts the file format. It reads a data stream length from the first 4 bytes into variable file_length and reads the data stream contents of length file_length from offset 16 onwards. Although it checks that the supplied firmware is at least 16 bytes long, it does not check that it is long enough to contain the data stream.

Add a test to ensure that the supplied firmware is long enough to contain the header and the data stream. On failure, log an error and return -EINVAL.

AnalysisAI

Buffer overflow in Linux kernel COMEDI me_daq driver allows local authenticated users to achieve arbitrary code execution with kernel privileges. The me2600_xilinx_download() function fails to validate firmware file length before reading data streams, enabling out-of-bounds memory access during firmware loading operations. …

RemediationAI

Within 24 hours: Identify systems running Linux kernels prior to versions 5.10.253, 5.15.203, 6.1.168, 6.6.134, 6.12.81, 6.18.22, 6.19.12, or 7.0 with COMEDI me_daq driver active. Within 7 days: Apply vendor-released kernel patches to affected systems or disable COMEDI me_daq driver if hardware is not in use. …
