Subject: [bug report] out of bounds read parsing vmode commandline option
Date: Wed, 04 Oct 2017 12:50:38 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171004125038.gkzaemlefrpfa2m2@mwanda> (raw)
This bug predates git but it looks like it might be simple to fix if the
right person looked at the code.
drivers/video/fbdev/controlfb.c:560 control_setup()
error: buffer overflow 'control_mac_modes' 20 <= 21
drivers/video/fbdev/controlfb.c
549 static void __init control_setup(char *options)
550 {
551 char *this_opt;
552
553 if (!options || !*options)
554 return;
555
556 while ((this_opt = strsep(&options, ",")) != NULL) {
557 if (!strncmp(this_opt, "vmode:", 6)) {
558 int vmode = simple_strtoul(this_opt+6, NULL, 0);
^^^^^
We get vmode from the command line.
559 if (vmode > 0 && vmode <= VMODE_MAX &&
^^^^^^^^^
We check that it's <= 22.
560 control_mac_modes[vmode - 1].m[1] >= 0)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
But the problem is that control_mac_modes[] only has 20 elements so the
highest valid index is 19. vmode - 1 can be up to 21.
561 default_vmode = vmode;
562 } else if (!strncmp(this_opt, "cmode:", 6)) {
563 int depth = simple_strtoul(this_opt+6, NULL, 0);
564 switch (depth) {
565 case CMODE_8:
566 case CMODE_16:
567 case CMODE_32:
568 default_cmode = depth;
569 break;
570 case 8:
571 default_cmode = CMODE_8;
572 break;
573 case 15:
574 case 16:
575 default_cmode = CMODE_16;
576 break;
577 case 24:
578 case 32:
579 default_cmode = CMODE_32;
580 break;
581 }
582 }
583 }
584 }
