Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A local user could exploit an out-of-bounds memory read vulnerability in the cs_dsp firmware component. This occurs because the cs_dsp_mock_bin_add_name_or_info() function incorrectly calculates the length of a source string, leading to access beyond allocated memory. This memory corruption could result in information disclosure or a denial of service (DoS) on the system.
