CVSS 3.1
5.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2024-50259
Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netdevsim: Add trailing zero to terminate the string in nsim_nexthop_bucket_activity_write()
This was found by a static analyzer.
We should not forget the trailing zero after copy_from_user()
if we will further do some string operations, sscanf() in this
case. Adding a trailing zero will ensure that the function
performs properly.
