Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(= s) to consider: Pre-existing issues: - [High] Pre-existing stack/heap buffer overflow in `rmi_smb_read_block()` = due to unsafe use of `i2c_smbus_read_block_data()` without a bounce buffer. -- --- Patch [1]: [PATCH] Input: rmi_smbus - fix out-of-bounds read in rmi_smb= _write_block() --- commit 530e4667b6144c7e030412bbc818f1de86a5a09e Author: Dmitry Torokhov <[email protected]> Input: rmi_smbus - fix out-of-bounds read in rmi_smb_write_block() This commit fixes an out-of-bounds read in rmi_smb_write_block() by ensuring block_len is calculated using the remaining length (cur_len) rather than the original total length. > diff --git a/drivers/input/rmi4/rmi_smbus.c b/drivers/input/rmi4/rmi_smbu= s.c > --- a/drivers/input/rmi4/rmi_smbus.c > +++ b/drivers/input/rmi4/rmi_smbus.c [ ... ] > @@ -148,7 +148,7 @@ static int rmi_smb_write_block(struct rmi_transport_d= ev *xport, u16 rmiaddr, > /* > * break into 32 bytes chunks to write get command code > */ > - int block_len =3D min_t(int, len, SMB_MAX_COUNT); > + int block_len =3D min_t(size_t, cur_len, SMB_MAX_COUNT); > =20 > retval =3D rmi_smb_get_command_code(xport, rmiaddr, block_len, > false, &commandcode); [ ... ] [Severity: High] This is a pre-existing issue, but since the chunking logic in=20 rmi_smb_write_block() is being corrected here, does a similar buffer overfl= ow=20 exist in the read path?
