Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2024-41038 is an out-of-bounds buffer access vulnerability in the Linux kernel firmware cs_dsp component when parsing wmfw V2 algorithm headers. The V2 format permits variable-length strings, causing the total header size and offsets of subsequent fields to vary. The parser did not ensure that every individual header field remained within the available firmware data buffer, allowing malformed header data to cause processing beyond that buffer. The fix adds bounds validation for all V2 algorithm-header fields.

Linux kernel cs_dsp firmware parser buffer-overrun issue in V2 algorithm headers.
Unknown
A Linux kernel cs_dsp firmware-parser buffer-overrun vulnerability. Variable-length strings in wmfw V2 algorithm-block headers cause field positions and total header length to vary; insufficient per-field bounds validation could permit fields to extend beyond the available firmware-data buffer.
