Linux kernel uvc_parse_format function buffer overflow
| linux-kernel-uvcparseformat-bo (44184) |  High Risk |
Description:
The Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the uvc_parse_format function. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability via specially-crafted format descriptors to overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with superuser privileges or cause the system to crash.
