CVE-2026-93165
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/chrome: sensorhub: Fix memory overread in ring handler
max_response and sensor_num are read from different EC commands:
- max_response is from cros_ec_get_proto_info(). ec_dev->max_response = info->max_response_packet_size - sizeof(struct ec_host_response);
- sensor_num is from cros_ec_get_sensor_count(). sensor_num = cros_ec_get_sensor_count(ec);
With a malfunctioning EC firmware, it is possible that the msg->insize (i.e., fifo_info_length in the context) could be clamped in cros_ec_cmd_xfer() because msg->insize is greater than max_response.
int fifo_info_length = sizeof(struct ec_response_motion_sense_fifo_info) + sizeof(u16) * sensorhub->sensor_num;
This means the number of read bytes could be less than expected. As a result, the subsequent memcpy() in cros_ec_sensorhub_ring_handler() overreads the resp->fifo_info buffer.
Check the return value of cros_ec_cmd_xfer_status() and abort if the number of bytes read does not match the expected length.
