Subject: [PATCH] dma-buf: udmabuf: avoid list copy size overflow
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 14:52:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260624125242.11232-1-alhouseenyousef@gmail.com> (raw)

UDMABUF_CREATE_LIST copies an array whose element count comes from
userspace. The count is compared against list_limit, but list_limit is a
signed module parameter while the count is u32.

If the limit is raised too far or made negative, that comparison no
longer bounds the count to a range where sizeof(*list) * count fits in
the u32 temporary used for the copy length. A wrapped copy length lets
memdup_user() copy fewer entries than udmabuf_create() subsequently
walks, leading to out-of-bounds reads from the copied list.

Take a positive snapshot of the module limit and use memdup_array_user()
so the multiplication is checked before copying.
