AI-suggested

A patch is available and has been released in multiple Linux kernel versions including 5.15.0-1117.124~20.04.1 and later. Users and administrators should update affected Linux kernel versions to the fixed releases to remediate this vulnerability. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

A boundary check flaw in the atmel_mxt_ts driver in the Linux kernel could cause a single byte overwrite of adjacent memory when processing configuration files with oversized objects. The vulnerability arises from an incorrect loop condition that allows writing one byte beyond the intended object boundary. This issue has been fixed by correcting the boundary check condition. Multiple Linux kernel versions are affected, and patches have been released to address the flaw.
