CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: 0 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/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 read.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in soc_button_get_button_info() in drivers/input/misc/soc_button_array.c when processing an empty ACPI button descriptor package. A local user can trigger access to btns_desc->package.elements[0] with a zero package count to trigger an out-of-bounds read.
