Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-09-16 14:03:17 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

HID: intel-thc-hid: intel-thc: Fix incorrect pointer arithmetic in I2C regs save

Improper use of secondary pointer (&dev->i2c_subip_regs) caused
kernel crash and out-of-bounds error:

 The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff888136005d00
  which belongs to the cache kmalloc-rnd-12-192 of size 192
 The buggy address is located 0 bytes to the right of
  allocated 192-byte region [ffff888136005d00, ffff888136005dc0)

Replaced with direct array indexing (&dev->i2c_subip_regs[i]) to ensure
safe memory access.
