CVE-2021-32078 (published 2021-06-17T15:15Z)

An Out-of-Bounds Read was discovered in arch/arm/mach-footbridge/personal-pci.c in the Linux kernel through 5.12.11 because of the lack of a check for a value that shouldn't be negative, e.g., access to element -2 of an array, aka CID-298a58e165e4.

Severity: MEDIUM
CVSS v2 base score: 6.6 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:N/A:C)
CVSS v3 base score: 7.1, HIGH (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H)

Weakness information:
cwe_id: CWE-125
cwe_name: Out-of-bounds Read
description: The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
