Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Linux Kernel up to 6.6.77/6.12.13/6.13.2. Affected is the function kvalloc of the file eventlog/acpi.c of the component tpm. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a buffer overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-120. The product copies an input buffer to an output buffer without verifying that the size of the input buffer is less than the size of the output buffer, leading to a buffer overflow. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:
