Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iio: light: veml6075: add bounds check to veml6075_it_ms index

veml6075_it_ms has 5 elements but VEML6075_CONF_IT can yield values 0-7.
If it returns a value >= 5, this causes an out-of-bounds array access.
Add a bounds check and return -EINVAL if the index is out of range.

The problem values are reserved so should never be read from the
register. Hence this is hardening against fault device, missprogramming
or bus corruption.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.

Weaknesses

Improper Validation of Array Index

The product uses untrusted input when calculating or using an array index, but the product does not validate or incorrectly validates the index to ensure the index references a valid position within the array. Learn more on MITRE.
