Subject: ipmi: ipmb: validate write message length
From: Yousef Alhouseen <alhouseenyousef@gmail.com>
commit 53637506884dbd5c91a89b1a3547d99d80f8ed2c upstream.
ipmb_write() read message fields before validating the length byte.
A zero or short write can read uninitialized stack bytes.
A length smaller than the SMBus header underflows the block write length.
Require a non-empty buffer and the minimum IPMB request length.
Also require the length byte plus payload before parsing the message.
Fixes: 51bd6f291583 ("Add support for IPMB driver")
