Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (aspeed-g6-pwm-tach) Validate the number of tach channels
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 16:55:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260629235503.2019362-1-linux@roeck-us.net> (raw)
Sashiko reports:
In aspeed_create_fan_monitor(), the driver reads raw channel numbers:
ret = of_property_read_u8_array(child, "tach-ch", tach_ch, count);
Then in aspeed_present_fan_tach(), it uses the unvalidated channel value
to index into the statically-sized tach_present array:
priv->tach_present[ch] = true;
It also uses the unvalidated channel value to calculate MMIO offsets:
val = readl(priv->base + TACH_ASPEED_CTRL(ch));
If the device tree provides a channel number that exceeds the maximum
allowed channels, could this corrupt adjacent memory and trigger
out-of-bounds MMIO accesses?
Fix the problem by validating the number of tachometer channels reported
from of_property_count_u8_elems() and return an error if the number of
tachometer channels exceeds the number of supported channels. Also, in
aspeed_present_fan_tach(), validate the actual channel number in
aspeed_present_fan_tach() and return an error if it exceeds the number
of channels supported by the driver.
