Overview
About vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i3c: renesas: Fix out-of-bounds access for newdevs mask
When software initiates DAA (Dynamic Address Assignment), the controller reports the result via the NRSPQP (Normal Response Queue Port Register). The data length field of the response descriptor, which is accessible through the NRSPQP register, indicates the number of devices remaining after DAA. Consequently, when the bus is empty, this field contains the maximum number of devices supported by the controller (8 for the Renesas I3C controller).
Adjust the condition that computes the newly discovered devices bitmask to prevent an out-of-bounds when the I3C bus is empty.
