Summary

In the Linux kernel, the qcom_battmgr driver's qcom_battmgr_sc8280xp_strcpy() copies firmware strings without guaranteeing a terminator when the firmware does not use Pascal-style strings. Fields model_number, serial_number, and oem_info may lack a null terminator, causing out-of-bounds reads when printed to userspace.

Risk Assessment

Can lead to kernel memory data leakage to userspace or system crash.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version with the fix using strscpy() instead of unterminated copying.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: power: supply: qcom_battmgr: terminate the strings from firmware The qcom_battmgr_sc8280xp_strcpy() takes a Pascal-style string when the firmware sends one. Otherwise it copies all BATTMGR_STRING_LEN bytes and leaves the destination without a terminator. Those destinations are model_number, serial_number and oem_info, each BATTMGR_STRING_LEN and declared next to each other. They go out to user space as val->strval, which power_supply_format_property() prints with "%s", so a firmware string that fills the whole field makes that read run into the following members. Use strscpy() so the copy always terminates, the way the SM8350 path already does for the same field.
