Out-of-Bound Write Vulnerability in Linux Kernel Affecting GPIO Functions

CVE-2025-38082

What is CVE-2025-38082?

A vulnerability exists within the Linux kernel, specifically impacting GPIO functionality. This issue can lead to potential out-of-bound write operations if a caller inputs more characters than the allocated buffer can accommodate. To mitigate this risk, the system should ensure that the input length does not surpass the buffer size and terminate the input correctly with a zero byte. Failure to implement these checks can lead to unauthorized memory access and has implications for system integrity.
