Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.8.2. It has been rated as problematic. This issue affects the function prev_idata of the component mmc. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a array index vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-129. The product uses untrusted input when calculating or using an array index, but the product does not validate or incorrectly validates the index to ensure the index references a valid position within the array. The impact remains unknown. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mmc: core: Avoid negative index with array access Commit 4d0c8d0aef63 ("mmc: core: Use mrq.sbc in close-ended ffu") assigns prev_idata = idatas[i - 1], but doesn't check that the iterator i is greater than zero. Let's fix this by adding a check.

The advisory is shared at git.kernel.org. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2024-35813 since 05/17/2024. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 12/15/2025).
