i3c: renesas: Fix out-of-bounds access for newdevs mask

Published Sep 11, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 4.7 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

i3c: renesas: Fix out-of-bounds access for newdevs mask

When software initiates DAA (Dynamic Address Assignment), the controller
reports the result via the NRSPQP (Normal Response Queue Port Register).
The data length field of the response descriptor, which is accessible
through the NRSPQP register, indicates the number of devices remaining
after DAA. Consequently, when the bus is empty, this field contains the
maximum number of devices supported by the controller (8 for the Renesas
I3C controller).

Adjust the condition that computes the newly discovered devices bitmask
to prevent an out-of-bounds when the I3C bus is empty.
