Subject: [PATCH 4/4] staging: vc04_services: vchiq-mmal: fix integer underflow in port_parameter_get()
Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2026 00:21:14 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260329062229.493430-5-sebasjosue84@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260329062229.493430-1-sebasjosue84@gmail.com>
From: Sebastián Alba Vives <sebasjosue84@gmail.com>
port_parameter_get() subtracts 2 * sizeof(u32) from the GPU firmware's
reply size field to compute the parameter value size. The reply size is
a u32 provided by the VideoCore firmware. If the firmware returns a
size smaller than 8, the subtraction wraps around to a large value due
to unsigned integer underflow.
The underflowed size is then:
1) Used in a comparison that selects the wrong copy path
2) Stored back to the caller via *value_size, propagating a bogus
size (up to ~4GB) to subsequent operations
Add a minimum size check before the subtraction and return -EPROTO if
the reply is malformed.
Fixes: b18ee53ad297 ("staging: bcm2835: Break MMAL support out from camera")
