Description
===========

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

hwmon: (pmbus/adm1266) widen blackbox-info buffer to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX

adm1266_nvmem_read_blackbox() declares a 5-byte stack buffer and
passes it to i2c_smbus_read_block_data() to retrieve the 4-byte
BLACKBOX_INFO response.  i2c_smbus_read_block_data() does not honour
caller buffer sizes -- it memcpy()s data.block[0] bytes from the
SMBus transaction (where data.block[0] is the length byte returned by
the slave device, up to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX = 32):

	memcpy(values, &data.block[1], data.block[0]);

If the device returns any block length above 5, the call overflows
the caller's 5-byte stack buffer before the post-call

	if (ret != 4)
		return -EIO;

check has a chance to reject the response.

Widen the local buffer to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX so the helper has room
for any well-formed SMBus block response, matching the convention used
by the other i2c_smbus_read_block_data() callers in this driver.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64135 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
