In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: smbus: reject oversized block transfers in the common path
The SMBus block transfer length data->block[0] is validated in
i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated() but that check runs too late for tracepoints
and is skipped entirely when the adapter provides a native smbus_xfer
implementation. This allows user-controlled oversized block lengths to
reach tracepoint memcpy calls and driver callbacks unchecked.
Add an early validation in __i2c_smbus_xfer() that rejects block
transfers whose caller-supplied length is zero or exceeds
I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX before any tracepoint fires or driver callback
runs. data->block[0] is filled in by the device on SMBus block reads,
so the check is scoped to operations where the length is actually
supplied by the caller. This is consistent with the existing -EINVAL
convention in the emulated path and protects all downstream consumers
at once: the smbus_write tracepoint, all native smbus_xfer driver
implementations, and the emulated path.
Two distinct bugs are fixed by this change:
Bug 1: smbus_write tracepoint OOB (include/trace/events/smbus.h)
trace_smbus_write() fires before any validation and copies
data->block[0]+1 bytes into a 34-byte event buffer. With
block[0]=0xfe the tracepoint copies 255 bytes, overflowing by 221.
BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in trace_event_raw_event_smbus_write+0x27c/0x530
Read of size 255 at addr ffff88800d98fcf8 by task poc_smbus/91

Bug 2: i2c-stub I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA OOB (drivers/i2c/i2c-stub.c)
stub_xfer() implements .smbus_xfer directly and only clamps
block[0] against 256-command, not I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX. With
block[0]=0xff and command=0 the loop accesses block[1+i] for
i up to 254, far past the 34-byte union.

Both traces reproduced on v7.0-rc6+i2c/for-current with KASAN+UBSAN.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's I2C System Management Bus (SMBus) subsystem. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds memory read by submitting a transfer request with an oversized or invalid block length. This occurs because the kernel does not properly validate user-supplied transfer lengths before passing the data to internal logging functions and device drivers. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a system crash or potentially disclose sensitive kernel memory.
