Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Linux Kernel up to 6.1.134/6.6.87/6.12.23/6.13.11/6.14.2. Affected is some unknown functionality of the component media. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a out-of-bounds vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-125. The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: venus: hfi_parser: refactor hfi packet parsing logic words_count denotes the number of words in total payload, while data points to payload of various property within it. When words_count reaches last word, data can access memory beyond the total payload. This can lead to OOB access. With this patch, the utility api for handling individual properties now returns the size of data consumed. Accordingly remaining bytes are calculated before parsing the payload, thereby eliminates the OOB access possibilities.

The advisory is available at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2025-23156 since 01/11/2025. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 237255 (Debian dla-4178 : ata-modules-5.10.0-34-armmp-di - security update), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.

Upgrading to version 6.1.135, 6.6.88, 6.12.24, 6.13.12, 6.14.3 or 6.15-rc1 eliminates this vulnerability.
