Summary

In the Linux kernel, a buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the fs210x audio codec driver. The fs210x_effect_scene_info() function used strscpy with an incorrect destination size (strlen(SRC)+1 instead of sizeof(DST)), which can lead to out-of-bounds write.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a buffer overflow, potentially leading to system crash or privilege escalation in the kernel, compromising system stability and security.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that replaces the incorrect strscpy call with the correct one (sizeof(DST)).

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: codecs: fs210x: fix possible buffer overflow In fs210x_effect_scene_info(), a string was copied like this: strscpy(DST, SRC, strlen(SRC) + 1); A buffer overflow would happen if strlen(SRC) >= sizeof(DST). Actually, strscpy() must be used this way: strscpy(DST, SRC, sizeof(DST)); strscpy(DST, SRC); // defaults to sizeof(DST)
