GHSA-pcrr-29j7-8w57: Unvalidated user-supplied buffer pointers in the I3C do_ccc system call handler allow kernel memory read/write from user mode

The system-call verifier for i3cdoccc() in drivers/i3c/i3chandlers.c validated the outer struct i3ccccpayload, the broadcast ccc.data buffer and the targets.payloads[] array, but did not validate the per-target data buffers those array elements point at. Each struct i3cccctargetpayload carries its own data pointer and datalen, and neither was passed through KSYSCALLMEMORY() before the payload was handed to zimpli3cdoccc() and on to the controller driver. The verifier also operated on the caller's live structure rather than a snapshot, so validated fields could be changed by a second user thread between the check and the driver's use — unlike the sibling zvrfyi3ctransfer(), which has always copied its message array first.

The defect is only present in CONFIGUSERSPACE builds, where drivers/i3c/i3chandlers.c is compiled. An unprivileged user-mode thread that has been granted access to the I3C controller device object — the ordinary way an application lets a user thread talk to I3C peripherals — can issue a direct CCC whose target payload data pointer names an arbitrary kernel address. Controller drivers dereference that pointer directly (for example drivers/i3c/i3cmcux.c, drivers/i3c/i3ccdns.c, drivers/i3c/i3cstm32.c, drivers/i3c/i3cnpcx.c), using rnw to decide direction.

A read CCC therefore causes the kernel-mode driver to write bus-received bytes into an attacker-chosen kernel address for an attacker-chosen length, and a write CCC transmits kernel memory out onto the I3C bus. The result is an out-of-bounds kernel write plus a kernel memory disclosure, i.e. escalation from a user-mode thread to supervisor privilege, defeating the isolation CONFIGUSERSPACE is meant to provide.

The fix introduces copycccanddo(), which snapshots the payload, copies the target array into kernel memory with kusermodeallocfromcopy() (bounding numtargets to fewer than 32), validates each per-target buffer with KSYSCALLMEMORY() according to rnw, and copies the driver-written numxfer and err fields back to the caller.
