CVE-2022-25375: Medium severity Linux Linux kernel vulnerability

Published Feb 20, 2022
·
Updated

An issue was discovered in drivers/usb/gadget/function/rndis.c in the Linux kernel before 5.16.10. The RNDIS USB gadget lacks validation of the size of the RNDISMSGSET command. Attackers can obtain sensitive information from kernel memory.

Other sources

In rndissetresponse of rndis.c, there is a possible out of bounds read due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local information disclosure with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
