Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y] Input: mms114 - reject an oversized device packet size
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 06:30:40 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722103040.891331-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026071645-latch-matchless-9242@gregkh>

[ Upstream commit 66725039f7090afe14c31bd259e2059a68f04023 ]

mms114_interrupt() reads a packet of touch data from the device into a
fixed-size on-stack buffer

	struct mms114_touch touch[MMS114_MAX_TOUCH];

which holds MMS114_MAX_TOUCH (10) events of MMS114_EVENT_SIZE (8) bytes,
i.e. 80 bytes. The length of the I2C read into it is taken verbatim from
the device:

	packet_size = mms114_read_reg(data, MMS114_PACKET_SIZE);
	if (packet_size <= 0)
		goto out;
	...
	error = __mms114_read_reg(data, MMS114_INFORMATION, packet_size,
			(u8 *)touch);

packet_size is a single device register byte (0x0F) and the only check
is the lower bound packet_size <= 0; it is never bounded against the
size of touch[]. A malfunctioning, malicious or counterfeit controller
(or an attacker tampering with the I2C bus) can report a packet_size of
up to 255, so __mms114_read_reg() writes up to 175 bytes past the end of
touch[] on the IRQ-thread stack: a stack out-of-bounds write that can
overwrite the stack canary, saved registers and the return address.

A well-formed device never reports more than the buffer holds, so reject
an oversized packet and drop the report, consistent with the handler's
other error paths, rather than reading past the buffer.
