Affected: Alpaquita:23: linux-lts, Alpaquita:25: linux-lts, Alpaquita:stream: linux-lts

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

hwmon: (pmbus/adm1266) include PEC byte in pmbus_block_xfer read buffer

adm1266_pmbus_block_xfer() sets up the read transaction with

.buf = data->read_buf, .len = ADM1266_PMBUS_BLOCK_MAX + 2,

but read_buf in struct adm1266_data is declared as

u8 read_buf[ADM1266_PMBUS_BLOCK_MAX + 1];

For a max-length block response (length byte = 255 + up to 1 PEC byte), the i2c controller is told to write 257 bytes into a 256-byte buffer, putting one byte past the end of read_buf. The same response also makes the subsequent PEC compare

if (crc != msgs[1].buf[msgs[1].buf[0] + 1])

read a byte beyond the array.

Bump the read_buf declaration to ADM1266_PMBUS_BLOCK_MAX + 2 so the buffer can hold the length byte, up to 255 payload bytes, and the PEC byte the i2c_msg length already accounts for.

Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen im Linux Kernel ausnutzen, um einen nicht näher spezifizierten Angriff durchzuführen, möglicherweise Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand herbeizuführen oder vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen.
