Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `io_ti` USB serial driver. A malicious USB device, when plugged into a host running this driver, can exploit a heap overflow vulnerability in the `get_manuf_info()` function. This occurs because the driver does not properly validate the size of data read from the device's I2C EEPROM against the allocated memory buffer. This improper validation can lead to out-of-bounds memory writes, potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a system crash (Denial of Service).
