How to fix?

Upgrade Echo:latest linux-6.12 to version 6.12.101-1~deb12u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-6.12 package and not the linux-6.12 package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: gadget: uvc: clamp SEND_RESPONSE length to the response buffer

uvc_send_response() builds the UVC control response from a user-supplied struct uvc_request_data:

req-&gt;length = min_t(unsigned int, uvc-&gt;event_length, data-&gt;length);
...
memcpy(req-&gt;buf, data-&gt;data, req-&gt;length);

req->length is clamped to uvc->event_length, which is taken from the host control request wLength (up to UVC_MAX_REQUEST_SIZE, 64), and to data->length, which comes from the UVCIOC_SEND_RESPONSE ioctl and is only checked for being negative. The source buffer data->data is only 60 bytes, so a response with uvc->event_length and data->length both greater than 60 makes memcpy() read past the end of data->data.

Clamp req->length to sizeof(data->data) as well.
