The 'nr_pages' attribute of the 'msc' subdevices parses a comma-separated
list of window sizes, passed from userspace. However, there is a bug in
the string parsing logic wherein it doesn't exclude the comma character
from the range of characters as it consumes them. This leads to an
out-of-bounds access given a sufficiently long list. For example:
> # echo 8,8,8,8 > /sys/bus/intel_th/devices/0-msc0/nr_pages

Fix this by accounting for the comma character.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
