What to Know

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

can: softing: fw_parse(): validate firmware record spans

fw_parse() reads a fixed record header, a firmware-provided payload,

and a trailing checksum without knowing the end of the firmware blob. A

truncated record can therefore make those reads exceed the blob.

The same record also supplies addresses and lengths for writes into

DPRAM. The generic loader uses wrap-prone mixed signed arithmetic for its

bounds check, while the application loader does not bound the staging

copy at all.

Pass the firmware end to the parser and validate the full source record.

Use a signed wide offset for generic DPRAM records and validate the

application staging span against the mapped DPRAM before copying. (NVD)

What to Do

Monitor Linux's web page for any future patch releases.
