Summary

In the Linux kernel, the CAN softing driver's fw_parse() function did not validate that firmware records fit within the firmware image, potentially leading to out-of-bounds reads. Additionally, bounds calculations for DPRAM writes were prone to integer overflow, and the application loader's data copy was not properly bounded.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability could allow an attacker with access to the driver interface to cause a system crash or potentially execute code in kernel context via a crafted firmware image.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that adds validation of firmware record boundaries and proper range checks for DPRAM writes.

Original NVD description (English source)

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.
