# CVE-2024-53104: Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write Vulnerability

**Signal:** Exploited: patch now if you run it. CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- Yes, if you run Linux Kernel. CISA added this CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2025-02-05, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild. US federal agencies must remediate by 2025-02-26 ; treat that as the outer limit, not the target.
- EPSS 3.4% , percentile 89: FIRST’s model estimates a 3.4% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 89% of all scored CVEs (elevated). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs local access needed. Lower urgency for most teams unless an attacker could already run code on the machine.

## What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: uvcvideo: Skip parsing frames of type UVCVSUNDEFINED in uvcparseformat 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 uvcparsestreaming.

- Linux Linux: 2.6.26

## Severity

- CISA-ADP CVSS 3.1: 7.8 `CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: added 2025-02-05; federal due date 2025-02-26. Known ransomware use: Unknown.
- CISA required action: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation active , automatable no , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 3.40% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 89.
