Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwmon: (gpio-fan) Fix array out of bounds access The driver does not check if the cooling state passed to
gpio_fan_set_cur_state() exceeds the maximum cooling state as
stored in fan_data->num_speeds. Since the cooling state is later
used as an array index in set_fan_speed(), an array out of bounds
access can occur.
This can be exploited by setting the state of the thermal cooling device
to arbitrary values, causing for example a kernel oops when unavailable
memory is accessed this way. Example kernel oops:
