Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] staging: vc04_services: vchiq-mmal: validate component index in event_to_host_cb()
Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2026 01:15:39 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260329071616.507876-2-sebasjosue84@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260329071616.507876-1-sebasjosue84@gmail.com>
From: Sebastián Alba Vives <sebasjosue84@gmail.com>
event_to_host_cb() uses msg->u.event_to_host.client_component as an
index into the instance->component[] array (size VCHIQ_MMAL_MAX_COMPONENTS
= 64) without bounds validation. While the kernel generally trusts the
hardware it is bound to, a bounds check here hardens the driver against
potential firmware bugs that could otherwise cause an uncontrolled
out-of-bounds array access and kernel crash.
Add a bounds check on comp_idx before using it as an array index and
move the component pointer assignment after the validation. Use
pr_err_ratelimited() to avoid log flooding. Note: this file does not
currently have access to a struct device, so dev_err() is not available.
