Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-09-15 15:13:42 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iommu/omap: Fix buffer overflow in debugfs

There are two issues here:

1) The "len" variable needs to be checked before the very first write.
   Otherwise if omap2_iommu_dump_ctx() with "bytes" less than 32 it is a
   buffer overflow.
2) The snprintf() function returns the number of bytes that *would* have
   been copied if there were enough space.  But we want to know the
   number of bytes which were *actually* copied so use scnprintf()
   instead.
