What to do

AI-suggested

A fix has been applied in the Linux kernel to enforce a minimum bulk-out buffer size of eight bytes in the safe_serial driver. Users should update to the fixed kernel version once available to mitigate this vulnerability.

Description

A memory corruption vulnerability in the Linux kernel's USB serial safe_serial driver was fixed by ensuring the bulk-out buffer size is at least eight bytes. This prevents user-controlled slab corruption caused by malicious devices reporting smaller endpoint sizes.
