Summary

In the Linux kernel, w1_f19_i2c_master_transfer(), the master_xfer for the DS28E17 1-Wire to I2C bridge, takes the length from the device on an I2C_M_RECV_LEN read. The driver reads that many bytes into buf[1], but the caller buffer is I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX + 2 (34 bytes), so a length above 32 makes the read run past it, up to about 222 bytes out of bounds. The SMBus core check runs after master_xfer returns, by which time the write is already done.

Risk Assessment

An out-of-bounds read may lead to kernel data disclosure or system crash. It requires a controlled I2C device connected via the DS28E17 bridge.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version with the fix that rejects a length above I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX at both RECV_LEN sites, as i2c-algo-bit does.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: w1: ds28e17: reject an oversize length on an I2C block read w1_f19_i2c_master_transfer() is the master_xfer for the DS28E17 1-Wire to I2C bridge. On an I2C_M_RECV_LEN read, it takes the length from the device. The downstream slave puts a length byte in buf[0]. The driver then reads that many bytes into buf[1] with w1_f19_i2c_read(). buf[0] is controlled by the device and can be 0 to 255. w1_f19_i2c_read() only rejects a zero count. The caller buffer is I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX + 2, so 34 bytes. A length above 32 makes the read run past it, up to about 222 bytes out of bounds. The SMBus core does check buf[0] against I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX. That check runs after master_xfer returns. By then the write is already done. i2c-algo-bit rejects an oversize length before it copies, and returns -EPROTO. Reject a length above I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX at both RECV_LEN sites, the same way i2c-algo-bit does.
