i3c: master: svc: bound IBI payload to the requested max_payload_len
Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i3c: master: svc: bound IBI payload to the requested max_payload_len svc_i3c_master_handle_ibi() reads the IBI payload from the RX FIFO into the IBI slot. The loop is bounded by the hardware FIFO size (SVC_I3C_FIFO_SIZE), not by the slot size. slot->data points into the IBI pool, which i3c_generic_ibi_alloc_pool() sizes at max_payload_len per slot. svc_i3c_master_request_ibi() only rejects a max_payload_len larger than SVC_I3C_FIFO_SIZE, so a driver can request a smaller one. mctp-i3c requests 1. Each readsb() then copies the controller RXCOUNT bytes (up to 31) with no check against the slot size. A device that sends more bytes than the slot holds writes past slot->data, an out-of-bounds write into the IBI pool. Bound the loop by dev->ibi->max_payload_len and clamp each read to the space left in the slot, the same way dw-i3c does. A device can still send more than the requested payload. Flush the leftover bytes from the RX FIFO so they do not leak into the next transfer.

Solution
Fix out-of-bounds write by bounding IBI payload reads and flushing excess data.
  • Bound IBI payload reads to the requested max_payload_len.
  • Clamp reads to the available space in the slot.
  • Flush leftover bytes from the RX FIFO.
  • Apply vendor-provided patches for the Linux kernel.
