GHSA-QJJR-VRX2-C9CP
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-09-11 18:35 – Updated: 2026-05-12 15:31
VLAI
Details
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: core: config: Prevent OOB read in SS endpoint companion parsing
usb_parse_ss_endpoint_companion() checks descriptor type before length, enabling a potentially odd read outside of the buffer size.
Fix this up by checking the size first before looking at any of the fields in the descriptor.
Severity
7.1 (High)

This happens because the loop variable still gets incremented by one so max becomes 3 instead of 2, and this makes the second loop read past the the array declared on the stack.
Fix this by assigning to max directly in the loop body.

GHSA-QM3M-JJVM-9VQR
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-11-11 21:30 – Updated: 2025-11-11 21:30
VLAI
Details
Format Plugins versions 1.1.1 and earlier are affected by an Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability that could lead to memory exposure. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to access sensitive memory information. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
Severity

Mitigation MIT-5
Implementation
Strategy: Input Validation
- Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
- When performing input validation, consider all potentially relevant properties, including length, type of input, the full range of acceptable values, missing or extra inputs, syntax, consistency across related fields, and conformance to business rules. As an example of business rule logic, "boat" may be syntactically valid because it only contains alphanumeric characters, but it is not valid if the input is only expected to contain colors such as "red" or "blue."
- Do not rely exclusively on looking for malicious or malformed inputs. This is likely to miss at least one undesirable input, especially if the code's environment changes. This can give attackers enough room to bypass the intended validation. However, denylists can be useful for detecting potential attacks or determining which inputs are so malformed that they should be rejected outright.
- To reduce the likelihood of introducing an out-of-bounds read, ensure that you validate and ensure correct calculations for any length argument, buffer size calculation, or offset. Be especially careful of relying on a sentinel (i.e. special character such as NUL) in untrusted inputs.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design
Strategy: Language Selection
Use a language that provides appropriate memory abstractions.
CAPEC-540: Overread Buffers
An adversary attacks a target by providing input that causes an application to read beyond the boundary of a defined buffer. This typically occurs when a value influencing where to start or stop reading is set to reflect positions outside of the valid memory location of the buffer. This type of attack may result in exposure of sensitive information, a system crash, or arbitrary code execution.
