Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
Pre-existing issues:
- [High] Out-of-bounds array read in get_instance_id macro due to an off-by-one error.
- [High] Out-of-bounds heap read and write in attribute_property_store macro via memchr.

--- Patch [1]: [PATCH v13 RESEND 1/5] platform/x86: Sort firmware attributes class includes ---
commit dff06344a1a1c35eb28b9e59670eeac00408066c
Author: Sean Rhodes <sean@starlabs.systems>
platform/x86: Sort firmware attributes class includes
Move firmware_attributes_class.h into the main include block and sort the
affected includes. This lets the header move replace each include in place.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does the get_instance_id() macro in
dell-wmi-sysman.h have an off-by-one error in its loop condition?
drivers/platform/x86/dell/dell-wmi-sysman/dell-wmi-sysman.h:get_instance_id() {
...
for (i = 0; i <= wmi_priv.type##_instances_count; i++) {
if (!(strcmp(kobj->name, wmi_priv.type##_data[i].attribute_name)))
...
}
If no match is found among the valid entries, the loop will evaluate
i = instances_count and access wmi_priv.type##_data[i].attribute_name, which
is memory beyond the allocated array. The subsequent strcmp() function will
then dereference this out-of-bounds heap memory.
[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does the attribute_property_store() macro in
dell-wmi-sysman.h have an out-of-bounds memory access?
drivers/platform/x86/dell/dell-wmi-sysman/dell-wmi-sysman.h:attribute_property_store() {
...
buf_cp = kstrdup(buf, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!buf_cp)
return -ENOMEM;
p = memchr(buf_cp, '\n', count);
if (p != NULL)
*p = '\0';
...
}
kstrdup() determines the allocation size using strlen(buf). If a user
provides an input buffer with an embedded null byte before the newline
character, kstrdup() will allocate a buffer smaller than the user-provided
count.
Subsequently, memchr() searches for a newline character up to count bytes,
reading beyond the dynamically allocated memory. Furthermore, if a newline
character happens to be found in the out-of-bounds memory block, the code
executes *p = '\0', causing an out-of-bounds heap write.
