Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: ismt: Fix an out-of-bounds bug in ismt_access()
When the driver does not check the data from the user, the variable
'data->block[0]' may be very large to cause an out-of-bounds bug.
The following log can reveal it:
