Subject: [PATCH 05/11] hwmon: (lm87) Fix drvdata type confusion in vrm_show() and vrm_store()
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2026 11:52:50 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261030185256.976255-6-linux@roeck-us.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261030185256.976255-1-linux@roeck-us.net>
When an LM87 or ADM1024 device is probed with VID support enabled, reading
from or writing to the vrm sysfs attribute triggers a driver data type
confusion in vrm_show() and vrm_store() in drivers/hwmon/lm87.c.
In lm87_probe(), the driver stores the struct lm87_data pointer on the I2C
client via i2c_set_clientdata() and passes the struct i2c_client pointer as
the drvdata argument to devm_hwmon_device_register_with_groups(), which
attaches the attribute groups to the registered hwmon device with client as
its driver_data. Unlike the other sysfs callbacks that retrieve client via
dev_get_drvdata() and then obtain data via i2c_get_clientdata(), vrm_show()
and vrm_store() assign dev_get_drvdata(dev) directly to struct lm87_data *.
Dereferencing data->vrm therefore accesses the struct i2c_client instance
at offsetof(struct lm87_data, vrm), causing vrm_show() to leak an unrelated
byte from struct i2c_client to userspace and vrm_store() to corrupt a byte
within struct i2c_client while failing to update the actual VRM value.
Fix the problem by assigning the return value from dev_get_drvdata(dev) to
struct i2c_client *client and using i2c_get_clientdata() to get the actual
client data.
Fixes: 00a0c905ab4b ("hwmon: (lm87) Use hwmon to create the sysfs groups")
