CVE-2022-50051
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: SOF: debug: Fix potential buffer overflow by snprintf() snprintf() returns the would-be-filled size when the string overflows the given buffer size, hence using this value may result in the buffer overflow (although it's unrealistic). This patch replaces with a safer version, scnprintf() for papering over such a potential issue.

"value": "En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ASoC: SOF: depuración: Corrección de un posible desbordamiento de búfer mediante snprintf(). snprintf() devuelve el tamaño que se espera que se llene cuando la cadena supera el tamaño de búfer especificado; por lo tanto, usar este valor podría provocar un desbordamiento de búfer (aunque esto no es realista). Este parche reemplaza scnprintf(), una versión más segura, para disimular este posible problema."
