Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's i2c-stub driver. A local user with access to the /dev/i2c-* device can exploit this vulnerability by issuing an I2C System Management Bus (SMBus) input/output control (ioctl) command with a specially crafted block transfer length. This invalid length can cause the driver to read or write beyond the allocated buffer, leading to a stack-out-of-bounds error and a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
