From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: Subject: patch "iio: adis_buffer: Fix out-of-bounds memory access" added to staging-linus To: lars@metafoo.de, Stable@vger.kernel.org, jic23@kernel.org From: Date: Sat, 26 Dec 2015 17:08:25 -0800 Message-ID: <145117850568214@kroah.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ANSI_X3.4-1968 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: stable-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled iio: adis_buffer: Fix out-of-bounds memory access to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >>From d590faf9e8f8509a0a0aa79c38e87fcc6b913248 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lars-Peter Clausen Date: Fri, 27 Nov 2015 14:55:56 +0100 Subject: iio: adis_buffer: Fix out-of-bounds memory access The SPI tx and rx buffers are both supposed to be scan_bytes amount of bytes large and a common allocation is used to allocate both buffers. This puts the beginning of the tx buffer scan_bytes bytes after the rx buffer. The initialization of the tx buffer pointer is done adding scan_bytes to the beginning of the rx buffer, but since the rx buffer is of type __be16 this will actually add two times as much and the tx buffer ends up pointing after the allocated buffer. Fix this by using scan_count, which is scan_bytes / 2, instead of scan_bytes when initializing the tx buffer pointer.
