CVE-2021-47282

21
FAUCET Score

CVE-2021-47282 is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's bcm2835 SPI driver, affecting systems with more than 3 SPI slaves configured via GPIO chipselects. This flaw could lead to high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CVSS 7.8 HIGH). While the vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog and has no known public exploits or significant community discussion, its local attack vector and low attack complexity make it a notable risk. A band-aid fix has been implemented, increasing the allowed slaves to 24 and enforcing the limitation during slave setup.
