CVE-2023-53139 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: fdp: add null check of devm_kmalloc_array in fdp_nci_i2c_read_device_properties devm_kmalloc_array may fails, *fw_vsc_cfg might be null and cause out-of-bounds write in device_property_read_u8_array later.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's NFC (Near Field Communication) subsystem has been addressed. The issue arose in the FDP (Flexible Data Protocol) component, specifically within the I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) communication. The vulnerability was due to a lack of proper null pointer checks when allocating memory for device properties. This oversight could lead to a null pointer dereference, allowing for an out-of-bounds write operation when the device properties were read later, potentially causing memory corruption.
