CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: 0 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a local user to trigger an out-of-bounds memory read.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in pppoatm_send() when inspecting the first data byte of zero-length or non-linear packet buffers. A local user can submit zero-length or non-linear frames to trigger an out-of-bounds memory read.
Frames can reach the affected function through PPP channel bridging (PPPIOCBRIDGECHAN).
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
