Hi Dmitry,

While putting together a reproducer for an out-of-bounds bug in hid-rmi
(v2 posted separately, [1]) I found two further memory-safety problems in
the shared RMI4 core.  Both are driven entirely by data the *device*
supplies -- its Page Description Table -- so they are reachable from a
malicious USB HID device with no code running on the victim, and equally
from I2C and SMBus RMI4 devices.  Neither depends on the hid-rmi bug;
they are in drivers/input/rmi4/ and need fixing separately.

Both are present in mainline and in every stable tree I looked at.

1/2 is an off-by-one: RMI_PDT_INT_SOURCE_COUNT_MASK is 0x07, so
interrupt_source_count can be 7, but struct rmi_function declares
int irq[RMI_FN_MAX_IRQS] with RMI_FN_MAX_IRQS == 6 and two loops walk it
up to fn->num_of_irqs.  irq[6] is the storage of the next member,
unsigned int irq_pos, so the function's position in the interrupt bitmap
is silently replaced with a Linux virq number.  UBSAN flags all five
stores plus the read on the unregister path.

2/2 is a time-of-check/time-of-use across two reads of the device: the
PDT is scanned three times and re-read from the device every time,
irq_mask[] is sized by the counting scan and filled by the creating scan,
and nothing verifies the two agree.  KASAN catches the resulting
set_bit() walking off the end of the flexible array at the tail of every
struct rmi_function.

How this was verified
---------------------

Linux v6.12.69 (CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS=y, booted slub_debug=FZPU) and
v6.12.105 (CONFIG_KASAN=y + CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE=y, CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS=y,
booted kasan_multi_shot -- generic KASAN otherwise reports only the first
error per boot), x86_64.  An emulated Synaptics RMI4 device publishes a
Page Description Table crafted for each case.  Two independent
reproducers, giving identical results:

  - a /dev/uhid program -- no hardware, fully deterministic, and the easy
    one to run;
  - the same device over dummy_hcd + raw-gadget with Facedancer, so the
    reports really traverse usbcore -> usbhid -> hid-rmi.

Each bug was exercised on its own cold boot, because heap state left by a
previous run changes what the out-of-bounds read returns and UBSAN
reports each call site only once per boot.

With both patches applied 1/2 produces no UBSAN reports and the same
device -- F01 declaring the full 7 interrupt sources -- probes normally,
and 2/2 fails the probe cleanly instead of corrupting the heap.

I am happy to post the reproducers, or to send them privately if you
would rather they did not go to a public list.

rmi_read_pdt_entry() takes the interrupt source count straight out of the
Page Description Table entry the device supplies:

	entry->interrupt_source_count = buf[4] & RMI_PDT_INT_SOURCE_COUNT_MASK;

RMI_PDT_INT_SOURCE_COUNT_MASK is 0x07, so the value can be 7, and
rmi_create_function() copies it verbatim into fn->num_of_irqs.  But
struct rmi_function declares

	int irq[RMI_FN_MAX_IRQS];

with RMI_FN_MAX_IRQS == 6, and both rmi_create_function_irq() and
rmi_unregister_function() index that array up to fn->num_of_irqs.  A
device declaring 7 interrupt sources for a function that has a handler --
F01 always does -- makes the driver write irq[6], which is the storage of
the following member, unsigned int irq_pos.  The function's position in
the interrupt bitmap then holds a Linux virq number, and that value feeds
set_bit(fn->irq_pos, ...) in rmi_f11_probe()/rmi_f12_probe() and the
irq_dispose_mapping() loop on teardown.

UBSAN reports every store in the loop body and the read on the unregister
path:

  UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/input/rmi4/rmi_bus.c:183:10
  index 6 is out of range for type 'int [6]'
  Workqueue: events uhid_device_add_worker

  UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/input/rmi4/rmi_bus.c:282:30

Size the array to match the three bit field that feeds it.  Clamping
num_of_irqs instead would silently drop an interrupt source a device is
allowed to declare, and would desynchronise irq_pos for every function
created after it.

Reproduced with an emulated RMI4 device that publishes a single F01 PDT
entry with interrupt_source_count = 7, driven over /dev/uhid and again
over dummy_hcd plus raw-gadget, on v6.12.69 and v6.12.105 with
CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS=y.  No reports after this change, and the same device
now probes normally.

rmi_driver_probe() walks the Page Description Table three times, and each
walk reads the table back from the device:

  1. rmi_initial_reset   - issue the reset command in the F01 entry
  2. rmi_count_irqs      - total the interrupt sources
  3. rmi_create_function - create the functions and set their irq bits

Scan 2 fixes data->irq_count, data->num_of_irq_regs and the size of every
per-function irq_mask[].  Scan 3 then accumulates fn->irq_pos and does

	for (i = 0; i < fn->num_of_irqs; i++)
		set_bit(fn->irq_pos + i, fn->irq_mask);

without checking the result against the count that sized the bitmap.
Nothing makes the device answer the third scan the way it answered the
second, so a device that reports one function with one interrupt source
on scan 2 and a long list of functions on scan 3 walks set_bit() past the
end of the flexible array at the tail of every struct rmi_function:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in rmi_create_function+0x560/0x930 [rmi_core]
  Write of size 8 at addr ffff888110c92b58 by task kworker/1:2/129

   rmi_init_functions+0xb8/0x320 [rmi_core]
   rmi_driver_probe+0x31e/0xbf0 [rmi_core]

one report per corrupted function object.  The same unvalidated
fn->irq_pos is used again by the set_bit() and irq_create_mapping() in
rmi_create_function_irq().

Validate the position before using it and fail the probe instead.  The
check is exact, not conservative: when both scans see the same table,
fn->irq_pos + fn->num_of_irqs is the running total that produced
data->irq_count, so it never fires for a device that behaves.

Reproduced with an emulated RMI4 device driven over /dev/uhid, and again
over dummy_hcd plus raw-gadget, on v6.12.69 booted slub_debug=FZPU and on
v6.12.105 built with CONFIG_KASAN=y.  After this change the same device
gets

  rmi4_physical rmi4-03: F40: interrupt count changed between PDT
      scans (pos 1 + 6 > 1)
  rmi4_physical rmi4-03: Function creation failed with code -22.

and a device that answers both scans consistently still probes normally.

Superseded by v2 1/2:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-input/20260824122733.76321-2-98lawweijie@gmail.com/

This patch is unchanged in v2 -- the series was resent because of 2/2,
which disposed of a rejected struct rmi_function with put_device() at a
point where device_initialize() had not run yet.

Please mark this one superseded.

Please do not apply this version.  The rejection path it adds calls
put_device(&fn->dev) before rmi_register_function(), which is where
device_initialize() happens, so fn->dev is still all zeroes at that
point.  kobject_put() then warns that the kobject was never initialised,
refcount_dec_and_test() warns about the underflow, and because the
saturated refcount makes kref_put() return false the release never runs
-- so the function is leaked on every rejection, i.e. on exactly the
malicious device this patch is meant to reject:

  rmi4_physical rmi4-00: F40: interrupt count changed between PDT scans (pos 1 + 6 > 1)
  kobject: '(null)' (00000000cfabc269): is not initialized, yet kobject_put() is being called.
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 9 at lib/kobject.c:734 kobject_put+0x1cf/0x4b0
  refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 9 at lib/refcount.c:28 refcount_warn_saturate+0xf2/0x150

v2 uses kfree() instead.

Please mark this one superseded.

Thanks,
Wei Jie
