Score 9.8 from GitHub Security Advisory (severity: CRITICAL) published 2024-06-19. NVD baseline CVSS 9.8; sources differ by 0.0.
A fix is available — apply it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
of: module: add buffer overflow check in of_modalias()
In of_modalias(), if the buffer happens to be too small even for the 1st snprintf() call, the len parameter will become negative and str parameter (if not NULL initially) will point beyond the buffer's end. Add the buffer overflow check after the 1st snprintf() call and fix such check after the strlen() call (accounting for the terminating NUL char).
EG Risk is EchelonGraph's 0–100 priority score: it fuses intrinsic severity with real-world exploitation and automatability so you can rank equal-severity CVEs and fix the most dangerous first. Higher = act sooner. Distinct from the 0–10 EG Score (severity).
