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-2024-42238 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-2024-42238/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42238/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-42238","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42238/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-42238","record":{"aliases":["AZL-47486","BELL-CVE-2024-42238","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-42238","GHSA-vfhx-cqwc-hf57","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-42238"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel firmware","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A buffer overflow in the Linux kernel's cs_dsp firmware loader allows attackers to cause a denial of service or potentially execute code via malformed firmware files.","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":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-120","name":"Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nfirmware: cs_dsp: Return error if block header overflows file\n\nReturn an error from cs_dsp_power_up() if a block header is longer\nthan the amount of data left in the file.\n\nThe previous code in cs_dsp_load() and cs_dsp_load_coeff() would loop\nwhile there was enough data left in the file for a valid region.
