Subject: [PATCH] mailbox: Prevent out-of-bounds access in of_mbox_index_xlate()
Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2026 07:30:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260304073052.3224244-1-joonwonkang@google.com> (raw)
[ Upstream commit fcd7f96c783626c07ee3ed75fa3739a8a2052310 ]
Although it is guided that `#mbox-cells` must be at least 1, there are
many instances of `#mbox-cells = <0>;` in the device tree. If that is
the case and the corresponding mailbox controller does not provide
`fw_xlate` and of_xlate` function pointers, `of_mbox_index_xlate()` will
be used by default and out-of-bounds accesses could occur due to lack of
bounds check in that function.
