The vulnerability of the usb_string_copy() function in the Linux operating system’s USB driver allows a hacker to induce a service failure.

The vulnerability of the usbstringcopy function in the drivers/usb/gadget/configfs.c file of the Linux kernel’s USB gadget driver relates to reading memory beyond the bounds of the allocated buffer. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to cause a service failure...

CVE-2024-42236

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: configfs: Prevent OOB read/write in usbstringcopy Userspace provided string 's' could trivially have the length zero. Left unchecked this will firstly result in an OOB read in the form if str0 - 1 == '\n' followed...

CVE-2024-42236

In CVE-2024-42236, the Linux kernel vulnerability affects usb: gadget: configfs, specifically usb_string_copy(), where an userspace string with length zero can bypass validation, causing an OOB read (str[0-1] before check) followed by an OOB write (str[0-1] = '\0'). The issue is caused by insuffi...
