Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: mcp2221: prevent a buffer overflow in mcp_smbus_write() Smatch Warning: drivers/hid/hid-mcp2221.c:388 mcp_smbus_write() error: __memcpy() '&mcp->txbuf[5]' too small (59 vs 255) drivers/hid/hid-mcp2221.c:388 mcp_smbus_write() error: __memcpy() 'buf' too small (34 vs 255) The 'len' variable can take a value between 0-255 as it can come from data->block[0] and it is user data. So add an bound check to prevent a buffer overflow in memcpy().
