Doc Text:
An out of bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated in drivers/i2c/i2c-core-smbus.c in I2C subsystem. A read request for length (data->block[0]) greater than 'I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX + 1' may cause underlying I2C driver write out of array's boundary. This could allow a local attacker with special user privilege (or root) to crash the system or leak kernel internal information.

Description Dhananjay Arunesh 2019-10-01 10:39:40 UTC 
An out of bounds (OOB) memory access flaw was found in i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated in drivers/i2c/i2c-core-smbus.c in I2C subsystem. A read request for length (data->block[0]) greater than 'I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX + 1' may cause underlying I2C driver write out of array's boundary. This could allow a local attacker with special user privilege (or root) to crash the system or leak kernel internal information.
