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

HID: cp2112: prevent a buffer overflow in cp2112_xfer()

Smatch warnings:
drivers/hid/hid-cp2112.c:793 cp2112_xfer() error: __memcpy()
'data->block[1]' too small (33 vs 255)
drivers/hid/hid-cp2112.c:793 cp2112_xfer() error: __memcpy() 'buf' too
small (64 vs 255)

The 'read_length' variable is provided by 'data->block[0]' which comes
from user and it(read_length) can take a value between 0-255. Add an
upper bound to 'read_length' variable to prevent a buffer overflow in
memcpy().
