No affected components available
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: comedi: Make insn_rw_emulate_bits() do insn->n samples The insn_rw_emulate_bits() function is used as a default handler for INSN_READ instructions for subdevices that have a handler for INSN_BITS but not for INSN_READ. Similarly, it is used as a default handler for INSN_WRITE instructions for subdevices that have a handler for INSN_BITS but not for INSN_WRITE. It works by emulating the INSN_READ or INSN_WRITE instruction handling with a constructed INSN_BITS instruction. However, INSN_READ and INSN_WRITE instructions are supposed to be able read or write multiple samples, indicated by the insn->n value, but insn_rw_emulate_bits() currently only handles a single sample. For INSN_READ, the comedi core will copy insn->n samples back to user-space. (That triggered KASAN kernel-infoleak errors when insn->n was greater than 1, but that is being fixed more generally elsewhere in the comedi core.) Make insn_rw_emulate_bits() either handle insn->n samples, or return an error, to conform to the general expectation for INSN_READ and INSN_WRITE handlers.
The vulnerability requires local access to the device to be exploited. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker needs basic access or low-level privileges. No user interaction is needed for the attacker to exploit this vulnerability. The impact is confined to the system where the vulnerability exists. There is a high impact on the confidentiality of the information. There is a high impact on the integrity of the data. There is a high impact on the availability of the system.
Exploitation activity has been observed. Apply available patches or mitigations urgently.
Probability that this vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days.
We did not find any exploit available. Neither in GitHub repositories nor in the Exploit-Database.
