CVE-2024-53104 · Severity: critical · CVSS 7.8 · Exploited in the wild · Published 2025-02-05

The Linux kernel's USB Video Class (UVC) driver contains an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in uvc_parse_streaming. The issue arises because the driver fails to skip frames of type UVC_VS_UNDEFINED during parsing, leading to incorrect buffer size calculations in uvc_parse_format.
