In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (nct6775-core) Fix number of temperature registers for NCT6116
Unlike NCT6106, NCT6116 only has three temperature registers, and with
it only three temperature source and temperature source configuration
registers. The register addresses match those of NCT6106 and can be
re-used.
The code used a separate array to list the temperature source registers
for NCT6116, but used the size of the NCT6106 register array to set
the number of registers. The NCT6106 register array provides six addresses,
while the temperature source register array for NCT6116 only provides three
addresses. This causes a KASAN report.

Fix the problem by hard-coding the number of temperature and temperature
configuration registers to three for NCT6116. Drop the unnecessary
NCT6116_REG_TEMP_SOURCE array and re-use NCT6106_REG_TEMP_SOURCE.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's hwmon (hardware monitoring) subsystem, specifically within the nct6775-core driver. This vulnerability arises from incorrect handling of temperature registers for the NCT6116 chip, where the driver attempts to access more registers than are available. This out-of-bounds read can lead to a Kernel Address Sanitizer (KASAN) report, potentially causing a system crash and resulting in a denial of service.
