Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: virtio: fix completion handling
The driver currently assumes that the notify callback is only received when the device is done with all the queued buffers.
However, this is not true, since the notify callback could be called without any of the queued buffers being completed (for example, with virtio-pci and shared interrupts) or with only some of the buffers being completed (since the driver makes them available to the device in multiple separate virtqueue_add_sgs() calls).
This can lead to incorrect data on the I2C bus or memory corruption in the guest if the device operates on buffers which are have been freed by the driver. (The WARN_ON in the driver is also triggered.)

Fix this by calling virtio_get_buf() from the notify handler like other virtio drivers and by actually waiting for all the buffers to be completed.
