What it is

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

platform/chrome: sensorhub: Fix memory overread in ring handler

`max_response` and `sensor_num` are read from different EC commands:

- `max_response` is from cros_ec_get_proto_info().

ec_dev->max_response = info->max_response_packet_size -

sizeof(struct ec_host_response);

- `sensor_num` is from cros_ec_get_sensor_count().

sensor_num = cros_ec_get_sensor_count(ec);

With a malfunctioning EC firmware, it is possible that the `msg->insize`

(i.e., `fifo_info_length` in the context) could be clamped in

cros_ec_cmd_xfer() because `msg->insize` is greater than `max_response`.

int fifo_info_length =

sizeof(struct ec_response_motion_sense_fifo_info) +

sizeof(u16) * sensorhub->sensor_num;

This means the number of read bytes could be less than expected. As a

result, the subsequent memcpy() in cros_ec_sensorhub_ring_handler()

overreads the `resp->fifo_info` buffer.

Check the return value of cros_ec_cmd_xfer_status() and abort if the

number of bytes read does not match the expected length.
