It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-47475 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47475/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47475/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-47475","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47475/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-47475","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2021-47475","GHSA-6w3g-x8mp-cp7x","UBUNTU-CVE-2021-47475"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A buffer overflow in the vmk80xx USB driver allows attackers with physical access to execute code or crash the system via malicious device descriptors.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ncomedi: vmk80xx: fix transfer-buffer overflows\n\nThe driver uses endpoint-sized USB transfer buffers but up until\nrecently had no sanity checks on the sizes.\n\nCommit e1f13c879a7c (\"staging: comedi: check validity of wMaxPacketSize\nof usb endpoints found\") inadvertently fixed NULL-pointer dereferences\nwhen accessing the transfer buffers in case a malicious device has a\nzero wMaxPacketSize.\n\nMake sure to allocate buffers large enough to handle also the other\naccesses that are done without a size check (e.g. byte 18 in\nvmk80xx_cnt_insn_read() for the VMK8061_MODEL) to avoid writing beyond\nthe buffers, for example, when doing descriptor fuzzing.\n\nThe original driver was for a low-speed device with 8-byte buffers.\nSupport was later added for a device that uses bulk transfers and is\npresumably a full-speed device with a maximum 64-byte wMaxPacketSize.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"comedi: vmk80xx: fix transfer-buffer overflows","id":"CVE-2021-47475","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"comedi: ni_usb6501: fix NULL-deref in command paths","id":"CVE-2021-47476"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"comedi: vmk80xx: fix bulk-buffer overflow","id":"CVE-2021-47474"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2024-05-22","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A buffer overflow in the vmk80xx USB driver allows attackers with physical access to execute code or crash the system via malicious device descriptors.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47475/"}
