this is a standard host kernel bug with no VM, IOMMU, or other security-authority boundary crossing.\\nC:H - User-controlled index makes test_bit() an unbounded OOB read (bit oracle over attacker-chosen offsets), and a successful bit check can further OOB-index menu name tables and copy up to 32 bytes into the querymenu response.\\nI:N - The vulnerable path only performs reads (test_bit/strscpy); the corresponding control-set path already bounds the value with ffs/fls, so there is no OOB write or integrity primitive.\\nA:H - A sufficiently large index causes test_bit() to load from unmapped kernel addresses, producing a reliable kernel oops/crash and denial of service.\"}]}], \"affected\": [{\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"367703c3ec4f72208b8cae14310b8a2c955ec565\", \"lessThan\": \"09635bf4cdd4adf2160198a6041bcc7ca46c0558\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"40140eda661ea4be219ef194a4f43b7b5e3bbd27\", \"lessThan\": \"8bcf70d787f7d53a3b85ad394f926cfef3eed023\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"40140eda661ea4be219ef194a4f43b7b5e3bbd27\", \"lessThan\": \"41ebaa5e0eebea4c3bac96b72f9f8ae0d77c0bdb\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"42cbbc6b2c39b02e07cbd24dc2155d4edb99dd04\", \"versionType\": \"git\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"6.1.16\", \"lessThan\": \"6.1.56\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"6.2.3\", \"lessThan\": \"6.3\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/media/usb/uvc/uvc_ctrl.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"}, {\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\": \"Linux\", \"product\": \"Linux\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"6.3\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"0\", \"lessThan\": \"6.3\", \"versionType\": \"semver\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.1.56\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.1.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.5.6\", \"versionType\": \"semver\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.5.*\"}, {\"status\": \"unaffected\", \"version\": \"6.6\", \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\", \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\"}], \"programFiles\": [\"drivers/media/usb/uvc/uvc_ctrl.c\"], \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\"}], \"references\": [{\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/09635bf4cdd4adf2160198a6041bcc7ca46c0558\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8bcf70d787f7d53a3b85ad394f926cfef3eed023\"}, {\"url\": \"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/41ebaa5e0eebea4c3bac96b72f9f8ae0d77c0bdb\"}], \"x_generator\": {\"engine\": \"bippy-1.2.0\"}, \"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"value\": \"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\\n\\nmedia: uvcvideo: Fix OOB read\\n\\nIf the index provided by the user is bigger than the mask size, we might do\\nan out of bound read.\"}], \"cpeApplicability\": [{\"nodes\": [{\"negate\": false, \"cpeMatch\": [{\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.1.56\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.1.16\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.5.6\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.3\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionEndExcluding\": \"6.6\", \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.3\"}, {\"criteria\": \"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\", \"vulnerable\": true, \"versionStartIncluding\": \"6.2.3\"}], \"operator\": \"OR\"}]}], \"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\", \"shortName\": \"Linux\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2026-08-05T09:10:25.951Z\"}}}",
