Subject: Patch "gpio: GPIO_GET_CHIPINFO_IOCTL: Fix line offset validation" has been added to the 4.8-stable tree
Date: Mon, 07 Nov 2016 17:24:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <147853585391219@kroah.com> (raw)
This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
gpio: GPIO_GET_CHIPINFO_IOCTL: Fix line offset validation
to the 4.8-stable tree which can be found at:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary
The filename of the patch is:
gpio-gpio_get_chipinfo_ioctl-fix-line-offset-validation.patch

Subject: gpio: GPIO_GET_CHIPINFO_IOCTL: Fix line offset validation
From: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de>
commit 1f1cc4566bd9dd8d3cf19965a4b6392143618536 upstream.
The current line offset validation is off by one. Depending on the data
stored behind the descs array this can either cause undefined behavior or
disclose arbitrary, potentially sensitive, memory to the issuing userspace
application.
Make sure that offset is within the bounds of the desc array.
Fixes: 521a2ad6f862 ("gpio: add userspace ABI for GPIO line information")
