Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] drm/nouveau/clk: fix list cursor use after loop in nvkm_clk_ustate_update
Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2026 14:36:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260712123616.1180830-2-postadelmaga@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260712123616.1180830-1-postadelmaga@gmail.com>

If the requested pstate id is not present in the state list (or the
list is empty, e.g. broken/missing perf tables), the list_for_each_entry
cursor runs off the end of the list and the subsequent
pstate->pstate != req check dereferences the list head cast to a
struct nvkm_pstate, which is an out-of-bounds read.

Track whether the entry was actually found instead of inspecting the
cursor after the loop.

Fixes: 7c8565220697 ("drm/nouveau/clk: implement power state and engine clock control in core")

Note: essentially the same fix was posted by Dan Carpenter in 2022 and
never picked up; the bug is still present in drm-misc-next.  Credit for
spotting it goes to him.
