Subject: [bug report] media: v4l2-ctrls: split up into four source files
Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2022 14:34:24 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220207113424.GA28058@kili> (raw)
[ This code is older, but it showed up as a new warning because of
moving the files around - dan ]
Hello Hans Verkuil,
The patch 71c689dc2e73: "media: v4l2-ctrls: split up into four source
files" from Apr 27, 2021, leads to the following Smatch static
checker warning:
drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ctrls-api.c:374 v4l2_g_ext_ctrls_common() warn: uncapped user size for kvmalloc() will WARN
drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ctrls-api.c:545 try_set_ext_ctrls_common() warn: uncapped user size for kvmalloc() will WARN
drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ctrls-api.c
351 int v4l2_g_ext_ctrls_common(struct v4l2_ctrl_handler *hdl,
352 struct v4l2_ext_controls *cs,
353 struct video_device *vdev)
354 {
355 struct v4l2_ctrl_helper helper[4];
356 struct v4l2_ctrl_helper *helpers = helper;
357 int ret;
358 int i, j;
359 bool is_default, is_request;
360
361 is_default = (cs->which == V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_DEF_VAL);
362 is_request = (cs->which == V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_REQUEST_VAL);
363
364 cs->error_idx = cs->count;
365 cs->which = V4L2_CTRL_ID2WHICH(cs->which);
366
367 if (!hdl)
368 return -EINVAL;
369
370 if (cs->count == 0)
371 return class_check(hdl, cs->which);
372
373 if (cs->count > ARRAY_SIZE(helper)) {
--> 374 helpers = kvmalloc_array(cs->count, sizeof(helper[0]),
These days if "cs->count" is larger than INT_MAX it will trigger a
WARN() because basically "people shouldn't be so trusting of user
space". kvmalloc() used to be able to allocate more than INT_MAX but
that led to integer overflow problmes and security bugs.
This "cs->count" value comes from the user via the ioctl. I don't know
what a sensible upper bound is though.
375 GFP_KERNEL);
376 if (!helpers)
377 return -ENOMEM;
378 }
379
regards,
dan carpenter
