I noticed that this patch is in other stable branches, but not for 4.9.y.
The patch did not apply cleanly because the file name has changed. So,
I did the backport by simply applying on the filename current on 4.9.y.
Patch will look like this:

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] tpm-dev-common: Reject too short writes
tpm_transmit() does not offer an explicit interface to indicate the number
of valid bytes in the communication buffer. Instead, it relies on the
commandSize field in the TPM header that is encoded within the buffer.
Therefore, ensure that a) enough data has been written to the buffer, so
that the commandSize field is present and b) the commandSize field does not
announce more data than has been written to the buffer.
This should have been fixed with CVE-2011-1161 long ago, but apparently
a correct version of that patch never made it into the kernel.
