Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cxl/mbox: Clamp mailbox output allocation to the payload size CXL_MEM_SEND_COMMAND bounds the user's in.size to the mailbox payload size but leaves out.size unbounded, then cxl_mbox_cmd_ctor() calls kvzalloc(out.size). A large out.size drives a huge allocation, above INT_MAX it WARNs and taints, and with panic_on_warn=1 it panics. The transport __cxl_pci_mbox_send_cmd() already clamps the response copy to min(out.size, payload_size, device len), so the output buffer is never written beyond payload_size. Clamp the allocation to payload_size too, matching the RAW path.
