Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.18-5.10] ACPICA: Enhance buffer validation in acpi_ut_walk_aml_resources()
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 09:31:13 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831133314.4125787-645-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831133314.4125787-1-sashal@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit b2e21fe8c3361c3d0d57ee56d359bea9b51fda3d ]

Enhance buffer validation in acpi_ut_walk_aml_resources() to prevent
buffer overflows.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

The background git searches finished and line up with the earlier
analysis:

- **No matching fix in 6.18.44** — searches for “Enhance buffer
  validation” and `AE_AML_BUFFER_LENGTH` usage in `utresrc.c` found
  nothing; the patch is not in this tree yet.
- **Prerequisites are present** — `AE_AML_BUFFER_LENGTH` is already
  defined in `include/acpi/acexcep.h` (since 2018); recent `utresrc.c`
  churn is only pack(1)/alignment work, not this bounds-check fix.
- **Vulnerable code is still there** — the walk loop in
  `acpi_ut_walk_aml_resources()` lacks the new validation.

That supports the **YES** backport verdict for linux-6.18.y: a confirmed
heap-buffer-overflow fix, small and self-contained, with no dependency
blockers in this tree.
