CVE-2024-50289 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: av7110: fix a spectre vulnerability As warned by smatch: drivers/staging/media/av7110/av7110_ca.c:270 dvb_ca_ioctl() warn: potential spectre issue 'av7110->ci_slot' [w] (local cap) There is a spectre-related vulnerability at the code. Fix it.
A Spectre-related vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel AV7110 driver, specifically within the CA (Conditional Access) interface handling. The issue arises from the improper management of the 'ci_slot' array, which can lead to speculative execution vulnerabilities. This has been addressed by modifying the array handling to prevent potential exploitation. The vulnerability was noted in the AV7110 CA ioctl function, where the array indices were not properly validated, allowing for out-of-bounds access under certain conditions.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been fixed. The specific commit addressing this issue is available in the Linux kernel stable tree.
