When the window\nexceeds 128 KiB, a write()/read() copies past the kern_buf allocation.\n\nClamp count against size_buf in both helpers, with an early return when\n*ppos is already at/after the buffer end.  *ppos is >= 0 here (the caller\nrejects negative offsets), so size_buf - *ppos cannot wrap.  This mirrors\nthe existing clamp in the MASTER-path helpers resource_to_user() /\nresource_from_user(), and matches the read()/write() convention of a\nshort transfer at end-of-buffer.\n\nFound by static analysis (CodeQL taint tracking + CBMC bounded model\nchecking) and confirmed dynamically under KASAN with the vme_fake bridge:\n\n  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in _copy_from_user+0x2d/0x80\n  Write of size 262144 at addr ffff888004100000 by task trigger/68\n    _copy_from_user+0x2d/0x80\n    vme_user_write+0x13e/0x240 [vme_user]\n    vfs_write+0x1b8/0x7a0\n    ksys_write+0xb8/0x150","published":"2026-07-25T10:17:30.000Z","lastModified":"2026-09-03T15:33:47.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-787"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00139,"percentile":0.03217,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.14%).
