## Overview

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

Input: usbtouchscreen - clamp NEXIO data_len/x_len to URB buffer size

nexio_read_data() pulls data_len and x_len from a packed __be16 header
in the device's interrupt packet and then walks packet->data[0..x_len)
and packet->data[x_len..data_len) comparing each byte against a
threshold.

Both fields are 16-bit on the wire (max 65535).  The existing
adjustments shave at most 0x100 / 0x80 off, so the loop bound can still
reach roughly 0xfeff.  The URB transfer buffer for NEXIO is rept_size
(1024) bytes from usb_alloc_coherent(), with the first 7 occupied by the
packed header — so packet->data[] has 1017 valid bytes.  read_data()
callbacks are not given urb->actual_length, and nothing else bounds the
walk.

A device that lies about its length can get a ~64 KiB out-of-bounds read
past the coherent DMA allocation.  The first index whose byte exceeds
NEXIO_THRESHOLD lands in begin_x / begin_y and from there into the
reported touch coordinates, so adjacent kernel memory contents leak to
userspace as ABS_X / ABS_Y events.  Far enough out, the read can also
hit an unmapped page and fault.

Fix this all by clamping data_len to the buffer's data[] capacity and
x_len to data_len.

## Affected

- `linux_kernel >= 2.6.34, < 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, < 6.12.93`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.13, < 6.18.35`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.19, < 7.0.12`
- `linux_kernel = 7.1`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 7.0.12`
