Description
A flaw was found in the davinci_mmc driver in the Linux kernel, which lacks validation for the size of transmitted data, leading to potential kernel panics if the data size exceeded the scatter-gather list (sg_miter) length. This issue was addressed by adding a check to limit the transmitted data to the sgm->length, preventing buffer overflows and enhancing system stability.
