## Overview

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

thunderbolt: Clamp XDomain response data copy to allocation size

tb_xdp_properties_request() derives the per-packet copy length from
the response header without checking that it fits in the previously
allocated data buffer.  A malicious peer can set its length field
larger than the declared data_length, causing memcpy to write past
the kcalloc allocation.

Clamp the per-packet copy length so that the cumulative offset
never exceeds data_len.

## Affected

- `linux_kernel >= 4.15, < 5.10.259`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.11, < 5.15.210`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.16, < 6.1.176`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.2, < 6.6.143`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.7, < 6.12.94`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.13, < 6.18.36`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.19, < 7.0.13`
- `linux_kernel = 7.1`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 7.0.13`
