Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-02-27 12:31 – Updated: 2024-04-10 18:30

Details

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

i2c: validate user data in compat ioctl

Wrong user data may cause warning in i2c_transfer(), ex: zero msgs. Userspace should not be able to trigger warnings, so this patch adds validation checks for user data in compact ioctl to prevent reported warnings

Severity ?

3.3 (Low)
