CVE-2022-48806

The CVE-2022-48806 issue is confirmed in the Linux kernel under ee1004 EEPROM reads. The root cause was that ee1004_eeprom_read() could read more than the i2c block data limit because i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data_or_emulated() uses an unsigned 8-bit length; if the requested read spanned a 256-by...
