7.1 · HIGHOverview
CVE-2021-47580 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on June 19, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 (HIGH).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.
Technical Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: scsi_debug: Fix type in min_t to avoid stack OOB
Change min_t() to use type "u32" instead of type "int" to avoid stack out
of bounds. With min_t() type "int" the values get sign extended and the
larger value gets used causing stack out of bounds.
