[PATCH i2c-host-fixes v4 1/5] i2c: rtl9300: Fix out-of-bounds bug in rtl9300_i2c_smbus_xfer

From: Sven Eckelmann
Date: Sat Aug 09 2025 - 02:54:38 EST


From: Alex Guo <alexguo1023@xxxxxxxxx>

The data->block[0] variable comes from user. Without proper check,
the variable may be very large to cause an out-of-bounds bug.

Fix this bug by checking the value of data->block[0] first.

1. commit 39244cc75482 ("i2c: ismt: Fix an out-of-bounds bug in
ismt_access()")
2. commit 92fbb6d1296f ("i2c: xgene-slimpro: Fix out-of-bounds bug in
xgene_slimpro_i2c_xfer()")

Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Fixes: c366be720235 ("i2c: Add driver for the RTL9300 I2C controller")
