NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-64k-debug package and not the kernel-64k-debug package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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 capped to a number between 0-255 and was used as the size of a memcpy, possibly writing beyond the end of dma_buffer. This flaw could allow a local privileged user to crash the system or potentially achieve code execution.
