Subject: re: Input: joydev - validate axis/button maps before clobbering current ones
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2015 21:51:55 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151006185155.GA8997@mwanda> (raw)
Hello Stephen Kitt,
The patch 999b874f4aa3: "Input: joydev - validate axis/button maps
before clobbering current ones" from Aug 25, 2009, leads to the
following static checker warning:
drivers/input/joydev.c:466 joydev_handle_JSIOCSAXMAP()
error: 'abspam' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR()
drivers/input/joydev.c
437 static int joydev_handle_JSIOCSAXMAP(struct joydev *joydev,
438 void __user *argp, size_t len)
439 {
440 __u8 *abspam;
441 int i;
442 int retval = 0;
443
444 len = min(len, sizeof(joydev->abspam));
445
446 /* Validate the map. */
447 abspam = memdup_user(argp, len);
448 if (IS_ERR(abspam)) {
449 retval = PTR_ERR(abspam);
450 goto out;
out labels are error prone. It's safer to return directly.

joydev_handle_JSIOCSBTNMAP() has the same issue.
451 }
452
453 for (i = 0; i < joydev->nabs; i++) {
454 if (abspam[i] > ABS_MAX) {
455 retval = -EINVAL;
456 goto out;
457 }
458 }
459
460 memcpy(joydev->abspam, abspam, len);
461
462 for (i = 0; i < joydev->nabs; i++)
463 joydev->absmap[joydev->abspam[i]] = i;
464
465 out:
466 kfree(abspam);
467 return retval;
468 }
regards,
dan carpenter
