Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tty: serial: qcom-geni-serial: fix slab-out-of-bounds on RX FIFO buffer

Driver's probe allocates memory for RX FIFO (port->rx_fifo) based on
default RX FIFO depth, e.g. 16. Later during serial startup the
qcom_geni_serial_port_setup() updates the RX FIFO depth
(port->rx_fifo_depth) to match real device capabilities, e.g. to 32.

The RX UART handle code will read "port->rx_fifo_depth" number of words
into "port->rx_fifo" buffer, thus exceeding the bounds. This can be
observed in certain configurations with Qualcomm Bluetooth HCI UART
device and KASAN:

If the RX FIFO depth changes after probe, be sure to resize the buffer.
