Title
bus: mhi: host: Add alignment check for event ring read pointer
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bus: mhi: host: Add alignment check for event ring read pointer Though we do check the event ring read pointer by "is_valid_ring_ptr" to make sure it is in the buffer range, but there is another risk the pointer may be not aligned. Since we are expecting event ring elements are 128 bits(struct mhi_ring_element) aligned, an unaligned read pointer could lead to multiple issues like DoS or ring buffer memory corruption. So add a alignment check for event ring read pointer.

Aunque verificamos el puntero de lectura del anillo de eventos mediante \"is_valid_ring_ptr\" para asegurarnos de que est\u00e9 en el rango del b\u00fafer, pero existe otro riesgo de que el puntero no est\u00e9 alineado. Dado que esperamos que los elementos del anillo de eventos est\u00e9n alineados con 128 bits (struct mhi_ring_element), un puntero de lectura no alineado podr\u00eda provocar m\u00faltiples problemas como DoS o corrupci\u00f3n de la memoria del b\u00fafer del anillo. Por lo tanto, agregue una verificaci\u00f3n de alineaci\u00f3n para el puntero de lectura del anillo de eventos."
