When not set, dvb_register_device() won't check for\nboundaries, as it will rely that a previous call to\ndvb_register_adapter() would already be enforcing it.\n\nOn a similar way, dvb_device_open() uses the assumption\nthat the register functions already did the needed checks.\n\nThis can be fragile if some device ends using different\ncalls. This also generate warnings on static check analysers\nlike Coverity.\n\nSo, add explicit guards to prevent potential risk of OOM issues.","published":"2024-11-19T18:15:26.000Z","lastModified":"2026-09-18T16:17:01.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":5.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-755"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00282,"percentile":0.20541,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.28%).
