Subject: [patch] Input: force feedback - potential integer wrap in input_ff_create()
Date: Sun, 9 Oct 2011 19:25:24 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111009162524.GA14049@elgon.mountain> (raw)
Smatch complains about max_effects because it's an int and we cap the
maximum size, but we don't check for negative. A negative value here
could make "ff" smaller than sizeof(struct ff_device) and lead to
memory corruption.
I think max_effects can come from ->ff_effects_max in
uinput_setup_device() and that comes from the user so potentially
it could be negative. The call path is that uinput_setup_device()
sets the value in the ->private_data struct. From there it is:
-> uinput_ioctl_handler()
-> uinput_create_device()
-> input_ff_create(dev, udev->ff_effects_max);
