Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's w1: ds28e17 1-Wire to I2C bridge driver. A malicious I2C slave device can provide an oversized length during an I2C block read operation. This causes the driver to read beyond the allocated buffer, leading to an out-of-bounds read of up to 222 bytes. This vulnerability could allow a local attacker to disclose sensitive information or cause a denial of service.
