Also add upper limit checks against the constant MAX_MRU in\ngsm0_receive() and gsm1_receive() to harden against memory corruption of\ngsm->len and gsm->mru.\n\nAll other checks remain as we still need to limit the data according to the\nuser configuration and actual payload size.","affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"e1eaea46bb4020b38a141b84f88565d4603f8dd0"},{"fixed":"9513d4148950b05bc99fa7314dc883cc0e1605e5"},{"fixed":"b229bc6c6ea9fe459fc3fa94fd0a27a2f32aca56"},{"fixed":"0fb736c9931e02dbc7d9a75044c8e1c039e50f04"},{"fixed":"4c267110fc110390704cc065edb9817fdd10ff54"},{"fixed":"46f52c89a7e7d2691b97a9728e4591d071ca8abc"},{"fixed":"774d83b008eccb1c48c14dc5486e7aa255731350"},{"fixed":"f126ce7305fe88f49cdabc6db4168b9318898ea3"},{"fixed":"b890d45aaf02b564e6cae2d2a590f9649330857d"},{"fixed":"47388e807f85948eefc403a8a5fdc5b406a65d5a"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2024-36016.json"}},{"package":{"name":"Kernel","ecosystem":"Linux"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"2.6.35"},{"fixed":"4.19.316"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"4.20.0"},{"fixed":"5.4.278"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"5.5.0"},{"fixed":"5.10.219"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"5.11.0"},{"fixed":"5.15.161"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"5.16.0"},{"fixed":"6.1.93"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.2.0"},{"fixed":"6.6.33"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.7.0"},{"fixed":"6.8.12"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.9.0"},{"fixed":"6.9.3"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2024-36016.json"}}],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0fb736c9931e02dbc7d9a75044c8e1c039e50f04"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/46f52c89a7e7d2691b97a9728e4591d071ca8abc"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/47388e807f85948eefc403a8a5fdc5b406a65d5a"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4c267110fc110390704cc065edb9817fdd10ff54"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/774d83b008eccb1c48c14dc5486e7aa255731350"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9513d4148950b05bc99fa7314dc883cc0e1605e5"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b229bc6c6ea9fe459fc3fa94fd0a27a2f32aca56"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b890d45aaf02b564e6cae2d2a590f9649330857d"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f126ce7305fe88f49cdabc6db4168b9318898ea3"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2024/06/msg00020.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/36xxx/CVE-2024-36016.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-36016"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"Linux","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/36xxx/CVE-2024-36016.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
