Buffer overrun: The local buffer rbuf is declared as u8 rbuf[24],\n   but i2c_smbus_read_block_data() can return up to\n   I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX (32) bytes. The i2c-core copies the data into\n   the caller's buffer before the return value can be checked, so\n   the post-read length validation does not prevent a stack overrun\n   if a device returns more than 24 bytes. Resize the buffer to\n   I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX.\n\n2. Unexpected positive return on length mismatch: When all three\n   retries are exhausted because the device returns data with an\n   unexpected length, i2c_smbus_read_block_data() returns a positive\n   byte count. The function returns this directly, and callers treat\n   any non-negative return as success, processing stale or incomplete\n   buffer contents. Return -EIO when retries are exhausted with a\n   positive return value, preserving the negative error code on I2C\n   failure."}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/hwmon/pt5161l.c"], "versions": [{"version": "1b2ca93cd0592b1fcbc6f8b64e02552bc15f4bb4", "lessThan": "7eccabff1c9ec15e4b6fe186d5c147b13a9cdb4e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "1b2ca93cd0592b1fcbc6f8b64e02552bc15f4bb4", "lessThan": "95d48e37a1304d6148406c799479c0fb505aefa7", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "1b2ca93cd0592b1fcbc6f8b64e02552bc15f4bb4", "lessThan": "a11aa9c5fd9dfe62be7cfec1f2a7546afb77254c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "1b2ca93cd0592b1fcbc6f8b64e02552bc15f4bb4", "lessThan": "24c73e93d6a756e1b8626bb259d2e07c5b89b370", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/hwmon/pt5161l.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.9", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.9", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.86", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.27", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.0.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.0.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.1-rc1", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.9", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.86"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.9", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.27"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.9", "versionEndExcluding": "7.0.4"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.9", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1-rc1"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7eccabff1c9ec15e4b6fe186d5c147b13a9cdb4e"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/95d48e37a1304d6148406c799479c0fb505aefa7"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a11aa9c5fd9dfe62be7cfec1f2a7546afb77254c"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/24c73e93d6a756e1b8626bb259d2e07c5b89b370"}], "title": "hwmon: (pt5161l) Fix bugs in pt5161l_read_block_data()", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
