Overview

CVE-2024-41038 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 29, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

firmware: cs_dsp: Prevent buffer overrun when processing V2 alg headers

Check that all fields of a V2 algorithm header fit into the available

firmware data buffer.

The wmfw V2 format introduced variable-length strings in the algorithm

block header. This means the overall header length is variable, and the

position of most fields varies depending on the length of the string

fields. Each field must be checked to ensure that it does not overflow

the firmware data buffer.

As this ia bugfix patch, the fixes avoid making any significant change to

the existing code. This makes it easier to review and less likely to

introduce new bugs.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
