Technical description

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

thunderbolt: Limit XDomain response copy to actual frame size

tb_xdomain_copy() copies req->response_size bytes from the received

packet buffer regardless of the actual frame size. When a short

response arrives, this reads past the valid frame data in the DMA

pool buffer into stale contents from previous transactions.

Use the minimum of frame size and expected response size for the

copy length.

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.
