Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (pmbus/q54sj108a2) fix stack overflow in debugfs read
The q54sj108a2_debugfs_read function suffers from a stack buffer overflow
due to incorrect arguments passed to bin2hex(). The function currently
passes 'data' as the destination and 'data_char' as the source.
Because bin2hex() converts each input byte into two hex characters, a
32-byte block read results in 64 bytes of output. Since 'data' is only
34 bytes (I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX + 2), this writes 30 bytes past the end
of the buffer onto the stack.
Additionally, the arguments were swapped: it was reading from the
zero-initialized 'data_char' and writing to 'data', resulting in
all-zero output regardless of the actual I2C read.
Fix this by:
1. Expanding 'data_char' to 66 bytes to safely hold the hex output.
2. Correcting the bin2hex() argument order and using the actual read count.
3. Using a pointer to select the correct output buffer for the final
simple_read_from_buffer call.
