Subject: [PATCH v6 3/3] serial: core: reject baud_base values that overflow port->uartclk in uart_set_info()
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 07:48:50 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930074850.465003-4-benquike@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930074850.465003-1-benquike@gmail.com>

In uart_set_info(), new_info->baud_base is multiplied by 16 and stored in
uport->uartclk (an unsigned int):

  uport->uartclk = new_info->baud_base * 16;

While uart_set_info() checks if (uartclk == 0), when new_info->baud_base
exceeds UINT_MAX / 16 with low bits set (for example, 0x10000001),
multiplying by 16 wraps around in 32-bit unsigned arithmetic to a small
non-zero value (16), bypassing uartclk == 0 and setting uport->uartclk = 16.

Use check_mul_overflow(new_info->baud_base, 16, &uartclk) in
uart_set_info() to reject baud_base values that overflow 32-bit unsigned
arithmetic.

Tested in QEMU against Linux 7.3.0-rc3 by calling ioctl(fd, TIOCSSERIAL,
&ss) with ss.baud_base = 0x10000001 on /dev/ttyS1: on the unfixed kernel
TIOCSSERIAL succeeds (ret = 0) and wraps uport->uartclk to 16
(TIOCGSERIAL reports baud_base = 1), whereas with the fix applied
TIOCSSERIAL returns -EINVAL and preserves the existing uport->uartclk.
