Subject: CVE-2023-52614: PM / devfreq: Fix buffer overflow in trans_stat_show
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PM / devfreq: Fix buffer overflow in trans_stat_show
Fix buffer overflow in trans_stat_show().
Convert simple snprintf to the more secure scnprintf with size of
PAGE_SIZE.
Add condition checking if we are exceeding PAGE_SIZE and exit early from
loop. Also add at the end a warning that we exceeded PAGE_SIZE and that
stats is disabled.
Return -EFBIG in the case where we don't have enough space to write the
full transition table.
Also document in the ABI that this function can return -EFBIG error.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-52614 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:
