Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: backend: fix out-of-bound write
The buffer is set to 80 character. If a caller write more characters,
count is truncated to the max available space in "simple_write_to_buffer".
But afterwards a string terminator is written to the buffer at offset count
without boundary check. The zero termination is written OUT-OF-BOUND.
Add a check that the given buffer is smaller then the buffer to prevent.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.12.23 < 6.12.40)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.13.11 < 6.14)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.14.2 < 6.15.8)
• linux linux kernel 6.16
