Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: w1: ds28e17: reject an oversize length on an I2C block read w1_f19_i2c_master_transfer() is the master_xfer for the DS28E17 1-Wire to I2C bridge. On an I2C_M_RECV_LEN read, it takes the length from the device. The downstream slave puts a length byte in buf[0]. The driver then reads that many bytes into buf[1] with w1_f19_i2c_read(). buf[0] is controlled by the device and can be 0 to 255. w1_f19_i2c_read() only rejects a zero count. The caller buffer is I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX + 2, so 34 bytes. A length above 32 makes the read run past it, up to about 222 bytes out of bounds. The SMBus core does check buf[0] against I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX. That check runs after master_xfer returns. By then the write is already done. i2c-algo-bit rejects an oversize length before it copies, and returns -EPROTO. Reject a length above I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX at both RECV_LEN sites, the same way i2c-algo-bit does.

The attacker chooses the ioctl and target address; a responding slave returning \u003e32 (or data the attacker just wrote) overflows reliably, with no race or uncontrolled layout.\nPR:L - i2cdev_open() has no capability check; reachability depends only on /dev/i2c-* permissions, commonly 0660 root:i2c on embedded and industrial systems. That is unprivileged local access, not real init-namespace root.\nUI:N - The attacker triggers the bug with their own open/ioctl sequence on an already-present DS28E17 I2C adapter node.

Such corruption is exploitable for arbitrary memory modification or control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The out-of-bounds kernel write can corrupt heap or stack state and cause an oops, panic, or hang.
