AI-suggested

A patch is available and has been incorporated into Linux kernel versions 6.8.0-147.147, 6.8.0-1067.70, 7.0.0-1012.12~24.04.1, 6.8.0-1071.79, 7.0.0-1014.14~24.04.1, and others as listed in the fixedVersions. Users and administrators should update to these fixed kernel versions to remediate the vulnerability.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's coresight ultrasoc-smb component allows an out-of-bounds write in the smb_sync_perf_buffer() function. This occurs when the SMB sink is used as a perf AUX sink and the page index calculation does not properly normalize the head pointer before indexing, potentially leading to memory corruption. The issue has been fixed in multiple Linux kernel versions.
