Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds via the panthor_fw_load_section_entry process. An attacker can achieve arbitrary kernel memory corruption and potentially escalate privileges by supplying a crafted firmware image with oversized section data, leading to out-of-bounds read and write operations during memory copy and zeroing routines.

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
