What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

platform/chrome: sensorhub: Bound the EC-reported sensor number

Each EC FIFO event carries an 8-bit sensor number (in->sensor_num).

cros_ec_sensorhub_ring_handler() validates the FIFO event count, the

per-read count and the ring bound, but not the sensor number, which

cros_ec_sensor_ring_process_event() then uses unchecked to index

sensorhub->batch_state[] - allocated with only sensorhub->sensor_num

entries. A sensor number of sensor_num or larger is an out-of-bounds

read and write of batch_state[].

Validate the sensor number in the ring handler, where each event is read

from the EC, and drop a malformed event before it is used.
