Two vulnerabilities have been reported in the Linux Kernel, with an unknown impact.

1) A boundary error due to missing parameter validation in the "map_to_seg7()" function in "drivers/usb/input/map_to_7segment.h" of the Yealink driver may cause out-of-bound memory references.

2) A boundary error in "/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c" when handling SMBus Block Write transactions may cause a buffer overflow.

Solution:
The vulnerabilities have been fixed in version 2.6.14-git4.
