In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firewire: nosy: ensure user_length is taken into account when fetching
packet contents Ensure that packet_buffer_get respects the user_length
provided. If the length of the head packet exceeds the user_length,
packet_buffer_get will now return 0 to signify to the user that no data
were read and a larger buffer size is required. Helps prevent user space
overflows.
