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]'

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]

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.

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.
