CVE-2024-42292 is an out-of-bounds memory-access vulnerability in the Linux kernel's kobject_uevent functionality. The zap_modalias_env() function incorrectly calculates the size of a memory block passed to memmove() when MODALIAS is not the final variable in its environment parameter. This incorrect length causes memory access outside the intended bounds. The fix corrects the size supplied to memmove().
