Descriptions

A buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel Intel’s iSMT SMBus host controller driver in the way it handled the I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_PROC_CALL case (via the ioctl I2C_SMBUS) with malicious input data. This flaw could allow a local user to crash the system.

Se encontró una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de búfer en el controlador de host iSMT SMBus del kernel de Linux en la forma en que manejaba el caso I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_PROC_CALL (por el ioctl I2C_SMBUS) con datos de entrada maliciosos. Este fallo podría permitir a un usuario local bloquear el sistema

A buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel Intel’s iSMT SMBus host controller driver in the way it handled the I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_PROC_CALL case (via the ioctl I2C_SMBUS) with malicious input data. In particular, the userspace controllable "data->block[0]" variable was not capped to a number between 0-255 and then used as the size of a memcpy, thus possibly writing beyond the end of dma_buffer. This flaw could allow a privileged local user to crash the system.
