CVE-2026-98204
Beschrijving NL
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: rmi_smbus - fix out-of-bounds read in rmi_smb_write_block()
When chunking writes into SMBus blocks in rmi_smb_write_block(), the
loop calculates block_len using the original total length (len) instead
of the remaining length (cur_len). If len is greater than 32 bytes (SMB_MAX_COUNT), block_len remains 32
for every iteration, even on the final partial chunk where fewer than 32
bytes remain. This causes smb_block_write() to read 32 bytes from the
advanced data buffer pointer, reading past the end of the input buffer. Fix this by calculating block_len using cur_len and advancing the buffer
and address pointers by block_len.
