Summary

A buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the pmbus/adm1266 driver of the Linux kernel. The adm1266_nvmem_read_blackbox() function passes a 64-byte buffer to the adm1266_pmbus_block_xfer() helper, which can write up to 255 bytes, causing memory corruption.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could exploit this overflow to corrupt kernel memory, potentially leading to system crash (DoS) or privilege escalation.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix, which introduces a 255-byte local bounce buffer and validates the returned data length.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwmon: (pmbus/adm1266) bounce blackbox records through a protocol-sized buffer adm1266_pmbus_block_xfer() copies the device-supplied block payload into the caller-provided buffer using the device-supplied length: memcpy(data_r, &msgs[1].buf[1], msgs[1].buf[0]); The helper does not know how large data_r is and trusts the device to return at most one record's worth of bytes. adm1266_nvmem_read_blackbox() violates that contract: it advances read_buff inside data->dev_mem in ADM1266_BLACKBOX_SIZE (64-byte) strides while the helper is willing to write up to ADM1266_PMBUS_BLOCK_MAX (255) bytes. A device that returns more than 64 bytes on the trailing record (read_buff offset 1984 in the 2048-byte dev_mem allocation) overflows dev_mem by up to 191 bytes before the post-call if (ret != ADM1266_BLACKBOX_SIZE) return -EIO; can reject the response. Contain the fix in the caller without changing the helper signature: read each record into a 255-byte local bounce buffer that matches the helper's maximum output, validate the returned length, and only then copy exactly ADM1266_BLACKBOX_SIZE bytes into the dev_mem slot.
