Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: mcp2221: prevent a buffer overflow in mcp_smbus_write() Smatch Warning: drivers/hid/hid-mcp2221.c:388 mcp_smbus_write() error: __memcpy() '&mcp->txbuf[5]' too small (59 vs 255) drivers/hid/hid-mcp2221.c:388 mcp_smbus_write() error: __memcpy() 'buf' too small (34 vs 255) The 'len' variable can take a value between 0-255 as it can come from data->block[0] and it is user data. So add an bound check to prevent a buffer overflow in memcpy().

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 5.7 < 5.10.137) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.61) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 5.18.18) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.19 < 5.19.2)
