Subject: [PATCH v2] media: ec168: fix slab-out-of-bounds in ec168_i2c_xfer
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 07:25:39 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324015539.1451660-1-kartikey406@gmail.com> (raw)
The WRITE_DEMOD path in ec168_i2c_xfer() checks msg[i].len < 1
before accessing the buffer, but then reads both buf[0] (register)
and buf[1] (value). If userspace supplies a 1-byte I2C message,
the read of buf[1] goes out of bounds, triggering a KASAN
slab-out-of-bounds error.
Fix by checking msg[i].len < 2 and returning -EOPNOTSUPP if the
buffer is too short to contain both register and value bytes.
