A flaw was found in the hp-bioscfg component of the Linux kernel. A local user could trigger a heap out-of-bounds read by writing an empty string to the current_password or new_password fields. This occurs because the validate_password_input() function attempts to access memory before the allocated buffer when processing an empty input. This vulnerability could lead to information disclosure by reading one byte of data past the buffer.
