Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spmi: trace: fix stack-out-of-bound access in SPMI tracing functions trace_spmi_write_begin() and trace_spmi_read_end() both call memcpy() with a length of "len + 1". This leads to one extra byte being read beyond the end of the specified buffer. Fix this out-of-bound memory access by using a length of "len" instead. Here is a KASAN log showing the issue: BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in trace_event_raw_event_spmi_read_end+0x1d0/0x234 Read of size 2 at addr ffffffc0265b7540 by task [email protected]/1314 ...

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability is a stack-out-of-bounds memory access in the Linux kernel's SPMI tracing functions. Specifically, the functions trace_spmi_write_begin() and trace_spmi_read_end() call memcpy() with a length of 'len + 1', which causes one extra byte to be read beyond the end of the intended buffer. This can lead to reading unintended memory on the stack, which is a programming error fixed by changing the length to 'len' instead.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

The vulnerability causes an out-of-bounds read on the stack, which can potentially lead to information disclosure or instability in the kernel. While the exact impact is not detailed, such memory access errors can cause crashes or expose sensitive data if exploited.
