CVE-2025-38342

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

software node: Correct a OOB check in software_node_get_reference_args()

software_node_get_reference_args() wants to get @index-th element, so the property value requires at least '(index + 1) * sizeof(*ref)' bytes but that can not be guaranteed by current OOB check, and may cause OOB for malformed property.

Fix by using as OOB check '((index + 1) * sizeof(*ref) > prop->length)'.

Exploiting this vulnerability requires the ability to craft or manipulate firmware node properties from kernel space. Such operations typically require high privileges, such as loading kernel modules or using in-kernel interfaces. Therefore, the vulnerability is not accessible to unprivileged users and is classified as Privileges Required: High (PR:H).
