Subject: [PATCH 1/4] hwmon: (tps53679) Fix array access with zero-length block read
Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2026 17:09:40 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260329170925.34581-2-sanman.pradhan@hpe.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260329170925.34581-1-sanman.pradhan@hpe.com>
From: Sanman Pradhan <psanman@juniper.net>
i2c_smbus_read_block_data() can return 0, indicating a zero-length
read. When this happens, tps53679_identify_chip() accesses buf[ret - 1]
which is buf[-1], reading one byte before the buffer on the stack.
Fix by changing the check from "ret < 0" to "ret <= 0", treating a
zero-length read as an error (-EIO), which prevents the out-of-bounds
array access.
Also fix a typo in the adjacent comment: "if present" instead of
duplicate "if".
Fixes: 75ca1e5875fe ("hwmon: (pmbus/tps53679) Add support for TPS53685")
