In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: mcp2221: prevent a buffer overflow in mcp_smbus_write()
Smatch Warning:
drivers/hid/hid-mcp2221.c:388 mcp_smbus_write() error: __memcpy()
'&mcp->txbuf[5]' too small (59 vs 255)
drivers/hid/hid-mcp2221.c:388 mcp_smbus_write() error: __memcpy() 'buf'
too small (34 vs 255)
The 'len' variable can take a value between 0-255 as it can come from
data->block[0] and it is user data. So add an bound check to prevent a
buffer overflow in memcpy().
