In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: thead: Fix buffer overflow and use standard endian macros
Addresses two issues in the TH1520 AON firmware protocol driver:
- Fix a potential buffer overflow where the code used unsafe pointer
arithmetic to access the 'mode' field through the 'resource' pointer with an offset. This was flagged by Smatch static checker as: "buffer overflow 'data' 2 <= 3"
- Replace custom RPC_SET_BE* and RPC_GET_BE* macros with standard
kernel endianness conversion macros (cpu_to_be16, etc.) for better portability and maintainability.
The functionality was re-tested with the GPU power-up sequence, confirming the GPU powers up correctly and the driver probes successfully.

AnalysisAI
Buffer overflow in TH1520 AON firmware protocol driver allows local authenticated attackers with low privileges to execute arbitrary code and gain elevated system access. The vulnerability stems from unsafe pointer arithmetic when accessing the 'mode' field through the 'resource' pointer with unchecked offsets in the T-HEAD firmware driver. …
