  3. CVE-2022-48806
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: eeprom: ee1004: limit i2c reads to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX Commit effa453168a7 ("i2c: i801: Don't silently correct invalid transfer size") revealed that ee1004_eeprom_read() did not properly limit how many bytes to read at once. In particular, i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data_or_emulated() takes the length to read as an u8. If count == 256 after taking into account the offset and page boundary, the cast to u8 overflows. And this is common when user space tries to read the entire EEPROM at once. To fix it, limit each read to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX (32) bytes, already the maximum length i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data_or_emulated() allows.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: eeprom: ee1004: limitar las lecturas de i2c a I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX El commit effa453168a7 ("i2c: i801: No corrija silenciosamente el tamaño de transferencia no válido") reveló que ee1004_eeprom_read() no limitaba adecuadamente cuántas bytes para leer a la vez. En particular, i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data_or_emulated() toma la longitud para leer como u8. Si el recuento == 256 después de tener en cuenta el desplazamiento y el límite de la página, la conversión a u8 se desborda. Y esto es común cuando el espacio del usuario intenta leer toda la EEPROM a la vez. Para solucionarlo, limite cada lectura a I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX (32) bytes, ya que la longitud máxima que permite i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data_or_emulated().
