In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: softing: fw_parse(): validate firmware record spans fw_parse() reads a fixed record header, a firmware-provided payload, and a trailing checksum without knowing the end of the firmware blob. A truncated record can therefore make those reads exceed the blob. The same record also supplies addresses and lengths for writes into DPRAM. The generic loader uses wrap-prone mixed signed arithmetic for its bounds check, while the application loader does not bound the staging copy at all. Pass the firmware end to the parser and validate the full source record. Use a signed wide offset for generic DPRAM records and validate the application staging span against the mapped DPRAM before copying.
Fix
Nothing published yet: no patch, vendor advisory or mitigation reference on NVD, no vendor advisory in the News for this CVE, not in CISA's KEV, no fixed package version. BaselineWatch does not guess at one.
