Description

An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's SLIMpro I2C device driver. The userspace "data->block[0]" variable was not capped to a number between 0-255 and was used as the size of a memcpy, possibly writing beyond the end of dma_buffer. This flaw could allow a local privileged user to crash the system or potentially achieve code execution.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (< 6.3) • linux linux kernel 6.3 • fedoraproject fedora 38 • redhat enterprise linux 8.0 • redhat enterprise linux 9.0
