USB: serial: io_ti: fix heap overflow in get_manuf_info()

get_manuf_info() reads le16_to_cpu(rom_desc->Size) bytes from the device I2C EEPROM into a buffer allocated with kmalloc_obj(), which is sizeof(struct edge_ti_manuf_descriptor) = 10 bytes.

The Size field comes from the device and is only validated (in check_i2c_image()) to make sure the descriptor fits within TI_MAX_I2C_SIZE (16384 bytes), not against the destination buffer size. A malicious USB device can therefore set Size to any value up to 16377, causing a heap overflow of up to 16367 bytes when plugged into a host running this driver.

valid_csum() is called after read_rom() and also iterates buffer[0..Size-1], compounding the out-of-bounds access.

Fix by rejecting descriptors with unexpected length before calling read_rom().

Affected: Ubuntu:24.04:LTS: linux-aws-7.0, Ubuntu:24.04:LTS: linux-hwe-7.0, Ubuntu:26.04:LTS: linux, Ubuntu:26.04:LTS: linux-aws, Ubuntu:26.04:LTS: linux-gcp, Ubuntu:26.04:LTS: linux-gke, Ubuntu:26.04:LTS: linux-realtime

It was discovered that some Arm processors could complete a broadcast translation lookaside buffer (TLB) invalidation before memory writes made through the invalidated translation were globally observed. A local attacker could possibly use this to write to memory after permission to do so had been revoked, bypassing memory protections or escalating privileges. (CVE-2025-10263)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - ARM64 architecture; - User-space API (UAPI); - Kernel build system; - ARM32 architecture; - RISC-V architecture; - S390 architecture; - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - Compute Acceleration Framework; - Intel NPU Driver; - ACPI drivers; - Android drivers; - Drivers core; - Compressed RAM block device driver; - Bluetooth drivers; - Character device driver; - Hardware random number generator core; - CPU frequency scaling framework; - Hardware crypto device drivers; - Buffer Sharing and Synchronization framework; - Intel Stratix 10 firmware drivers; - FPGA Framework; - GPIO subsystem; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - CoreSight HW tracing drivers; - I2C subsystem; - IIO subsystem; - IIO ADC drivers; - InfiniBand drivers; - Input Device core drivers; - Input Device (Mouse) drivers; - IOMMU subsystem; - IRQ chip drivers; - M…
