Description: A vulnerability was reported in the Linux kernel in the Vicam USB driver. A local process may be able to cross security boundaries.
It is reported that the Vicam USB driver in Linux kernel versions prior to 2.4.25 does not use the copy_from_user() function to access userspace, which violates security boundaries.
No further details were provided.
Impact: A local process may be able to cause the driver to access userspace data for a different process.
Solution: A fixed version (2.4.25) is planned, to be available at:
