15) Stack-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU79487

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 5.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4273

CWE-ID: CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the implementation of the file name reconstruction function in the exFAT driver in Linux kernel. A local user can trigger a stack overflow and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
