This causes a legitimate compiler warning because memcpy() overruns the length of &com.cmd.ConfigureBuffers.config. It seems that the right structure is FW_CONFIGURE_FREE_BUFFERS, instead, because it contains 6 more members apart from the header _hdr_. Also, the name of the function ngene_command_config_free_buf() suggests that the actual intention is to ConfigureFreeBuffers, instead of ConfigureBuffers (which takes place in the function ngene_command_config_buf(), above). Fix this by enclosing those 6 members of struct FW_CONFIGURE_FREE_BUFFERS into new struct config, and use &com.cmd.ConfigureFreeBuffers.config as the destination address, instead of &com.cmd.ConfigureBuffers.config, when calling memcpy(). This also helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable -Warray-bounds and get us closer to being able to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines on memcpy(). ## CISA-Anreicherung (vulnrichment/ADP) - CISA-SSVC (Coordinator, v2.0.3): - Exploitation: **none** - Automatable: **no** - Technical Impact: **partial** ## CVSS-Vektor ``` CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H ``` | Metrik | Wert | Bewertung | |---|---|---| | AV Angriffsvektor | Lokal | good | | AC Komplexität | Gering | bad | | PR Privilegien | Gering | warn | | UI Interaktion | Keine | bad | | S Scope | Unverändert | good | | C Vertraulichkeit | Hoch | bad | | I Integrität | Keine | good | | A Verfügbarkeit | Hoch | bad | ## Referenzen - - - - - - - - --- _Exportiert aus dem [tsecurity.de CVE-Dossier](https://tsecurity.de/cve?cve=CVE-2021-47288) · Datenquellen: EUVD (ENISA), NVD, OSV, CISA KEV, FIRST EPSS, Exploit-DB, BSI WID (CSAF)_
