CVE-2023-54056
Linux Kernel 5.2.0-6.3.1 DoS via kheaders.tar.xz Buffer Overflow
Title source: llmDescription
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: kheaders: Use array declaration instead of char Under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE, memcpy() will check the size of destination and source buffers. Defining kernel_headers_data as "char" would trip this check. Since these addresses are treated as byte arrays, define them as arrays (as done everywhere else). This was seen with: $ cat /sys/kernel/kheaders.tar.xz >> /dev/null detected buffer overflow in memcpy kernel BUG at lib/string_helpers.c:1027! ... RIP: 0010:fortify_panic+0xf/0x20 [...] Call Trace: <TASK> ikheaders_read+0x45/0x50 [kheaders] kernfs_fop_read_iter+0x1a4/0x2f0 ...
