Subject: [PATCH net] e100: fix shift-out-of-bounds in e100_eeprom_load()
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 06:38:15 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810063815.151326-1-malathi.a2000@gmail.com> (raw)
e100_eeprom_load() and e100_eeprom_save() start with an address length
of 8 and call e100_eeprom_read() to auto-detect the real EEPROM address
length. e100_eeprom_read() adjusts the length with
*addr_len -= (i - 16);
based on when the EEPROM drives a dummy zero onto EEDO. A malfunctioning
or emulated device that drives EEDO low too early makes (i - 16) exceed
the current length, underflowing the u16 addr_len to a large value such
as 65529.
That value is then used as a shift count:
nic->eeprom_wc = 1 << addr_len;
which is undefined behaviour and additionally overflows the fixed-size
nic->eeprom[256] cache.
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e100.c:768:21
shift exponent 65529 is too large for 32-bit type 'int'
The EEPROM cache holds at most 256 words, so a valid address length is
never larger than 8. Reject larger values before using addr_len.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
