Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] soc: apple: rtkit: reject syslog indices outside the entry count
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 14:11:39 +0545 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <930eb129c35cdffb877b8fd16662a3250a0e2ecf.1787559303.git.acharyalaxman8848@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1787559303.git.acharyalaxman8848@gmail.com>
syslog_n_entries is a count, so valid indices range from zero through
syslog_n_entries - 1. The current check also accepts syslog_n_entries
itself.
Reject that index before deriving the shared-buffer offset. The shared
copy bounds check remains the final protection against inconsistent
firmware-provided layouts.
Fixes: 9bd1d9a0d8bb ("soc: apple: Add RTKit IPC library")
