This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled i2c: core: check returned size of emulated smbus block read to the 4.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: i2c-core-check-returned-size-of-emulated-smbus-block.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 2093311a5dac2926564c9765e572676154e757b1 Author: Mans Rullgard <mans@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Jun 13 11:41:09 2020 +0100 i2c: core: check returned size of emulated smbus block read [ Upstream commit 40e05200593af06633f64ab0effff052eee6f076 ] If the i2c bus driver ignores the I2C_M_RECV_LEN flag (as some of them do), it is possible for an I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_DATA read issued on some random device to return an arbitrary value in the first byte (and nothing else). When this happens, i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated() will happily write past the end of the supplied data buffer, thus causing Bad Things to happen. To prevent this, check the size before copying the data block and return an error if it is too large.
