In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: atmel mxt ts - fix boundary check in mxt prepare cfg mem
When a configuration file provides an object size that is larger than the driver's known mxt obj size(object), the driver intends to discard the extra bytes.
The loop iterates using for (i = 0; i < size; i++). Inside the loop, the condition to skip processing extra bytes is:
if (i > mxt obj size(object)) continue;
Since i is a 0-based index, the valid indices for the object are 0 through mxt obj size(object) - 1.
When i == mxt obj size(object), the condition evaluates to false, and the code processes the byte instead of discarding it.
This causes the code to calculate byte offset = reg + i - cfg->start ofs and writes the byte there, overwriting exactly one byte of the adjacent instance or object.
Update the boundary check to skip extra bytes correctly by using >=.
