Exploitation Probability (EPSS)

Low risk

3th percentile - higher than 3% of all known CVEs

Summary

In the Linux kernel VEML6075 light sensor driver, a missing bounds check on the `veml6075_it_ms` array index could cause an out-of-bounds access. The index from the configuration register can be 0-7 but the array has only 5 elements. A validation was added returning -EINVAL for invalid values.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves potential out-of-bounds memory read, which could lead to system instability, crash, or in extreme cases privilege escalation. Exploitation is difficult as it requires bus corruption or device misprogramming.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix (commit referenced in CVE description). Monitor official Linux distribution security advisories for the patch.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: light: veml6075: add bounds check to veml6075_it_ms index veml6075_it_ms has 5 elements but VEML6075_CONF_IT can yield values 0-7. If it returns a value >= 5, this causes an out-of-bounds array access. Add a bounds check and return -EINVAL if the index is out of range. The problem values are reserved so should never be read from the register. Hence this is hardening against fault device, missprogramming or bus corruption.
