Overview¶
An improper boundary check in DSP driver prior to SMR Mar-2021 Release 1 allows out of bounds memory access. The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.

The product may modify an index or perform pointer arithmetic that references a memory location that is outside of the boundaries of the buffer. A subsequent write operation then produces undefined or unexpected results.
