Description

CVE-2024-58007 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel affecting Qualcomm MSM8916 devices where an out-of-bounds read occurs when exposing the serial number via sysfs. The issue arises because the kernel incorrectly checks the bounds of the serial number field in the socinfo struct, leading to reading memory beyond the intended area. This flaw has been fixed in Linux kernel versions starting from 5.4.0-1092.97~18.04.1 and other specified fixed versions. The vulnerability has a high severity score of 7.1 and does not have known exploits in the wild. A patch is available and should be applied to affected systems.
