In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: realtek: fix out-of-bounds access
The probe function sets priv->chip_data to (void *)priv + sizeof(*priv)
with the expectation that priv has enough trailing space.
However, only realtek-smi actually allocated this chip_data space.
Do likewise in realtek-mdio to fix out-of-bounds accesses.
These accesses likely went unnoticed so far, because of an (unused)
buf[4096] member in struct realtek_priv, which caused kmalloc to
round up the allocated buffer to a big enough size, so nothing of
value was overwritten. With a different allocator (like in the barebox
bootloader port of the driver) or with KASAN, the memory corruption
becomes quickly apparent.
