CVE-2024-53104
media: uvcvideo: Skip parsing frames of type UVC_VS_UNDEFINED in uvc_parse_format
What it is
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: uvcvideo: Skip parsing frames of type UVC_VS_UNDEFINED in uvc_parse_format
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
uvc_parse_streaming.
CISA: Linux kernel contains an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the uvc_parse_streaming component of the USB Video Class (UVC) driver that could allow for physical escalation of privilege.
What to do
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
Deadline for US federal agencies: February 26, 2025
