CVE-2024-56557

Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.8)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iio: adc: ad7923: Fix buffer overflow for tx_buf and ring_xfer

The AD7923 was updated to support devices with 8 channels, but the size of tx_buf and ring_xfer was not increased accordingly, leading to a potential buffer overflow in ad7923_update_scan_mode().

CVSS

Versión: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Puntuación base: 7.8

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.25%
Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 15
Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
