--- Patch [1]: [PATCH RESEND] Input: rmi4 - Move sensor initialization into own function for F12 ---
commit ca79b6f1c1761554daeb36e4304a62bdc7fa5f10
Author: David Heidelberg <david@ixit.cz>
Input: rmi4 - Move sensor initialization into own function for F12
This commit refactors the F12 probe logic by extracting the sensor
initialization sequence into a separate helper function,
rmi_f12_sensor_init(). This reduces the size of rmi_f12_probe() and makes
the code more structured.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but I noticed a potential out-of-bounds heap
read when f12 processes objects.
In rmi_f12_attention(), we advance the pointer by data1_offset but pass the
full valid_bytes without adjusting it:
drivers/input/rmi4/rmi_f12.c:rmi_f12_attention() {
...
if (f12->data1)
rmi_f12_process_objects(f12,
&sensor->data_pkt[f12->data1_offset],
valid_bytes);
...
}
Then in rmi_f12_process_objects(), we read object coordinates:
drivers/input/rmi4/rmi_f12.c:rmi_f12_process_objects() {
...
obj->x = get_unaligned_le16(&data1[1]);
...
}
Could a malicious device over I2C/SPI specify a non-zero Data0 register size
(offsetting Data1) and a large number of fingers, causing the loop to read
data1_offset bytes past the end of the sensor->data_pkt heap allocation?
[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but could a malicious hardware
device trigger a kernel panic via division by zero?
In rmi_f12_read_sensor_tuning(), if the device returns 0 for the DPM
resolution:
drivers/input/rmi4/rmi_f12.c:rmi_f12_read_sensor_tuning() {
...
sensor->x_mm = sensor->max_x / dpm_resolution;
sensor->y_mm = sensor->max_y / dpm_resolution;
...
}
Does the driver need to check if dpm_resolution is zero before performing this
division?
[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but could this code leak uninitialized kernel
stack memory to userspace?
In rmi_f12_read_sensor_tuning(), we read item->reg_size bytes into the buf
stack array:
drivers/input/rmi4/rmi_f12.c:rmi_f12_read_sensor_tuning() {
...
ret = rmi_read_block(rmi_dev, fn->fd.control_base_addr + offset,
buf, item->reg_size);
...
if (rmi_register_desc_has_subpacket(item, 0)) {
sensor->max_x = get_unaligned_le16(&buf[offset]);
sensor->max_y = get_unaligned_le16(&buf[offset + 2]);
offset += 4;
}
...
}
If a malicious device specifies a small reg_size (e.g., 1 byte) but indicates
via the subpacket_map that subpacket 0 exists, could the unconditional reads
for max_x and max_y read past the initialized portion of buf?
