Summary

In the Linux kernel, the i3c renesas driver's function computing the newly discovered devices bitmask does not account for an empty bus. When the bus is empty, the data length field contains the maximum number of devices (8), leading to an out-of-bounds access.

Risk Assessment

Can cause out-of-bounds read and system crash. Systems with Renesas I3C controller are at risk.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that adjusts the condition for computing the new devices bitmask.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i3c: renesas: Fix out-of-bounds access for newdevs mask When software initiates DAA (Dynamic Address Assignment), the controller reports the result via the NRSPQP (Normal Response Queue Port Register). The data length field of the response descriptor, which is accessible through the NRSPQP register, indicates the number of devices remaining after DAA. Consequently, when the bus is empty, this field contains the maximum number of devices supported by the controller (8 for the Renesas I3C controller). Adjust the condition that computes the newly discovered devices bitmask to prevent an out-of-bounds when the I3C bus is empty.
