CVE-2024-53150 [HIGH] CWE-125 Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Read Vulnerability
Vulnerability: Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Read Vulnerability
Affected: Linux Kernel
Linux Kernel contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the USB-audio driver that allows a local, privileged attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.
Required Action: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
Notes: This vulnerability affects a common open-source component, third-party library, or a protocol used by different products. For more information, please see: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cve-announce/2024122427-CVE-2024-53150-3a7d@gregkh/ ; https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/2025-04-01 ; https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-53150

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.
