An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel’s SLIMpro I2C device driver. The userspace “data->block[0]” variable was not limited to a number between 0-255 and was used as the size of a memcpy, possibly writing beyond the end of dma_buffer. This issue could allow a local privileged user to crash the system or potentially achieve code execution.
Mitigation
This flaw can be mitigated by preventing the i2c-xgene-slimpro module from being loaded. Please see <https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278> for information on how to blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from being loaded automatically.
