Description
===========

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

HID: intel-thc-hid: intel-thc: Fix incorrect pointer arithmetic in I2C regs save

Improper use of secondary pointer (&dev->i2c_subip_regs) caused
kernel crash and out-of-bounds error:

 The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff888136005d00
  which belongs to the cache kmalloc-rnd-12-192 of size 192
 The buggy address is located 0 bytes to the right of
  allocated 192-byte region [ffff888136005d00, ffff888136005dc0)

Replaced with direct array indexing (&dev->i2c_subip_regs[i]) to ensure
safe memory access.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-39818 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
