What to do
AI-suggested
A fix has been applied in the Linux kernel to add the missing sanity check. Users should update to the fixed kernel version once available. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the provided data; therefore, check the official Linux kernel advisories for the exact fixed versions and apply updates accordingly.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's USB serial driver mct_u232 was fixed by adding a missing sanity check on the size of interrupt-in transfers. This flaw could allow stale or uninitialized kernel memory to be leaked to user space.
