Out-of-Bound Write Vulnerability in Linux Kernel

CVE-2025-38484

What is CVE-2025-38484?

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel allows for out-of-bound writes due to improper boundary checks. When a caller writes more than 80 characters, the kernel truncates the count but fails to ensure that a string terminator will fit within the allocated buffer space. This oversight can lead to data corruption and potentially destabilize systems relying on the affected kernel versions. It is crucial for users and organizations to apply patches that include a boundary check to safeguard against this type of vulnerability.
