Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-09-18 14:03:40 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

i2c: ismt: Fix an out-of-bounds bug in ismt_access()

When the driver does not check the data from the user, the variable
'data->block[0]' may be very large to cause an out-of-bounds bug.

The following log can reveal it:

[   33.995542] i2c i2c-1: ioctl, cmd=0x720, arg=0x7ffcb3dc3a20

Fix this bug by checking the size of 'data->block[0]' first.
