AI-suggested
A fix is available that properly bounds the GET_REPORT response to the caller's buffer length in the intel-quickspi HID driver. Users should apply the updated Linux kernel versions that include this patch to mitigate the vulnerability.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's intel-quickspi HID driver allows a buffer overflow due to improper handling of the GET_REPORT response size. The function quickspi_hid_raw_request() receives the caller's buffer length but does not enforce it in quickspi_get_report(), which copies the entire device-supplied response into the buffer regardless of its size. This can lead to a buffer overflow with device-controlled content. The issue has been resolved by bounding the GET_REPORT response to the caller's buffer length.
