Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's tps53679 hwmon driver. When the i2c_smbus_read_block_data() function returns a zero-length read, the tps53679_identify_chip() function attempts to access memory before the allocated buffer. This out-of-bounds read could lead to information disclosure or a denial of service.

No mitigation is specified in collected source.
