AI-suggested
A patch is available and should be applied to affected Linux kernel versions to address this vulnerability. The fix adds proper bounds checking to the veml6075_it_ms index to prevent out-of-bounds access. Users should update to the fixed kernel versions as listed in the advisory. No additional mitigation actions are required beyond applying the official patch.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's iio light veml6075 driver allowed out-of-bounds array access due to missing bounds checking on an index derived from the VEML6075_CONF_IT register. This could lead to memory corruption if the index exceeded the array bounds. The issue was addressed by adding a bounds check to prevent invalid index usage. The vulnerability is considered low severity with a CVSS score of 7.1 and has been fixed in updated Linux kernel versions.
