Note\nthat the src[len] byte is never copied, but strscpy() still needs to\nread it to check whether a truncation occurred or not.\n\nThis exact pattern happened in ucan.\n\nThe root cause is that the source is not NUL terminated. Instead of\ndoing a copy in a local buffer, directly NUL terminate it as soon as\nusb_control_msg() returns. With this, the local firmware_str[] variable\ncan be removed.\n\nOn top of this do a couple refactors:\n\n  - ucan_ctl_payload->raw is only used for the firmware string, so\n    rename it to ucan_ctl_payload->fw_str and change its type from u8 to\n    char.\n\n  - ucan_device_request_in() is only used to retrieve the firmware\n    string, so rename it to ucan_get_fw_str() and refactor it to make it\n    directly handle all the string termination logic.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-125"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1d22a122ffb116c3cf78053e812b8b21f8852ee9","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8cec9e314d3360fc1d8346297c41a6ee45cb45a9","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a4994161a61bc8fd71d105c579d847cefee99262","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cc29775a8a72d7f3b56cc026796ad99bd65804a7"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:00:57.946988208+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-22003","score":0.00193,"percentile":0.08982,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
