What it is
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: uvcvideo: Skip parsing frames of type UVC_VS_UNDEFINED in uvc_parse_format This can lead to out of bounds writes since frames of this type were not taken into account when calculating the size of the frames buffer in uvc_parse_streaming.
Description quoted from the CVE record (assigned by Linux, published 2024-12-02).
Weakness: CWE-787 Out-of-bounds Write
How it can be exploited

How to fix it
CISA required action: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.

- https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-53104
How to detect it
This bug needs local access to exploit. VEDAS signatures cover remotely exploitable bugs for now, so there is no network rule or remote check for it. Patch it and watch your endpoint telemetry for unusual local activity.
