In\nparticular a data length of 0 is not supported by the hardware and\ncauses unintended or destructive behaviour.\n\nThis limitation becomes obvious when looking at the register\ndocumentation [1]. 4 bits are reserved for DATA_WIDTH and the value\nof these 4 bits is used as N + 1, allowing a data length range of\n1 <= len <= 16.\n\nAffected by this is the SMBus Quick Operation which works with a data\nlength of 0. Passing 0 as the length causes an underflow of the value\ndue to:\n\n(len - 1) & 0xf\n\nand effectively specifying a transfer length of 16 via the registers.\nThis causes a 16-byte write operation instead of a Quick Write. For\nexample, on SFP modules without write-protected EEPROM this soft-bricks\nthem by overwriting some initial bytes.\n\nFor completeness, also add a quirk for the zero length.\n\n[1] https://svanheule.net/realtek/longan/register/i2c_mst1_ctrl2"}], "lastModified": "2025-12-10T21:50:13.647", "configurations": [{"nodes": [{"negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "8DA00A4E-AABB-4A69-AB39-67B22D0B36D2", "versionEndExcluding": "6.16.8", "versionStartIncluding": "6.13"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.17:rc1:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "327D22EF-390B-454C-BD31-2ED23C998A1C"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.17:rc2:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "C730CD9A-D969-4A8E-9522-162AAF7C0EE9"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.17:rc3:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "39982C4B-716E-4B2F-8196-FA301F47807D"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.17:rc4:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "340BEEA9-D70D-4290-B502-FBB1032353B1"}], "operator": "OR"}]}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"}
