CVE-2024-53104: Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write Vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: uvcvideo: Skip parsing frames of type UVCVSUNDEFINED in uvcparseformat
This can lead to out of bounds writes since frames of this type were not taken into account when calculating the size of the frames buffer in uvcparsestreaming.
Other sources
In uvcparseformat of uvcdriver.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a heap buffer overflow. This could lead to physical escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
