This article describes a vulnerability (CVE-2024-50288) in the Linux kernel related to video capture.
Vulnerability :
Platform: Linux Kernel
Version: Not specified
Vulnerability: Buffer overflow in video capture when using more than 32 buffers.
Severity: Medium (CVSS v3.1: 5.5)
Date: November 18, 2024
What Undercode Says:
This vulnerability occurs because the maximum number of buffers for the video capture queue was increased to 64, while an internal array used for memory management remained sized for 32 buffers. This mismatch could lead to writing data outside the intended memory space when using more than 32 buffers, potentially causing a crash or system instability.
Additional Notes:
A fix for this vulnerability has been included in the Linux kernel.
Users are recommended to update their Linux kernel to the latest patched version.
