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

Summary

In the Linux kernel ptp_ocp driver, an out-of-bounds read was found in the board ID field from EEPROM. The field is not NUL-terminated, which could lead to reading memory beyond the buffer.

Risk Assessment

A local attacker with access to the devlink interface could perform unauthorized reads of kernel memory, potentially exposing sensitive data or causing a crash.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel update containing the fix that limits formatting to OCP_BOARD_ID_LEN bytes. Reboot the system after the update.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ptp: ocp: Fix board ID over-read The EEPROM board ID is a fixed 13-byte field and is not guaranteed to contain a NUL terminator. Passing it directly to devlink_info_version_fixed_put() treats it as a C string and may read beyond the field. Format at most OCP_BOARD_ID_LEN bytes into the existing local buffer before reporting the ID. Use a precision limit because the snprintf() output size alone does not bound the source string scan.
