AI-suggested
A fix is available that validates the rate list length before storing the UAC1 and UAC2 configfs rate-list attributes, preventing out-of-bounds writes. Users should apply the official Linux kernel updates that include this patch. Since this is a kernel vulnerability, upgrading to a patched kernel version is the recommended mitigation.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's USB gadget UAC (USB Audio Class) function allows writing beyond fixed-size arrays when parsing rate-list attributes. This occurs because the input parsing does not limit the number of sampling rates stored, leading to out-of-bounds writes. The issue affects specific Linux kernel versions and has been resolved by validating the rate list length before storing values.
