Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds in the fec_decode_bufs process. An attacker can cause the system to read memory outside the intended buffer by manipulating the number of buffers and parity roots under specific non-default configurations. This is only exploitable if both non-default values for fec_roots are set and the maximum number of buffers cannot be allocated due to low memory.

Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
