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

i2c: virtio: fix completion handling

The driver currently assumes that the notify callback is only received
when the device is done with all the queued buffers.

However, this is not true, since the notify callback could be called
without any of the queued buffers being completed (for example, with
virtio-pci and shared interrupts) or with only some of the buffers being
completed (since the driver makes them available to the device in
multiple separate virtqueue_add_sgs() calls).

This can lead to incorrect data on the I2C bus or memory corruption in
the guest if the device operates on buffers which are have been freed by
the driver. (The WARN_ON in the driver is also triggered.)

BUG kmalloc-128 (Tainted: G W ): Poison overwritten

Fix this by calling virtio_get_buf() from the notify handler like other
virtio drivers and by actually waiting for all the buffers to be
completed.
