In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: mcp2221: validate report size in mcp2221_raw_event()
mcp2221_raw_event() never validates the size of incoming HID reports.
In the MCP2221_I2C_GET_DATA path it trusts the device-supplied data[3]
as the copy length without checking that 4 + data[3] bytes actually
exist in the received report. A malicious or misbehaving USB device can
send a short report with a large data[3], causing the memcpy to read
past the valid report data in the HID transfer buffer and leak
uninitialized kernel memory back to userspace through the I2C/SMBus
read path.
Add a minimum size check at entry and validate that the source range
fits within the received report before the copy.
