CVE-2021-38160

Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-120 Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow')
Publication date:
07/08/2021
Last modified:

Description

In drivers/char/virtio_console.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.4, data corruption or loss can be triggered by an untrusted device that supplies a buf->len value exceeding the buffer size. NOTE: the vendor indicates that the cited data corruption is not a vulnerability in any existing use case; the length validation was added solely for robustness in the face of anomalous host OS behavior
