Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y] ASoC: SOF: ipc3-control: Fix heap overflow in bytes_ext put/get
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 07:36:47 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260723113647.3034771-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026072001-unvocal-backtrack-aa11@gregkh>

From: Peter Ujfalusi <peter.ujfalusi@linux.intel.com>

[ Upstream commit fd46668d538993218eea19c6925c868ac0f2630c ]

The ipc_control_data buffer is allocated as kzalloc(max_size), where
max_size covers the entire struct sof_ipc_ctrl_data including its
flexible array payload. However, the bounds checks in bytes_ext_put
and _bytes_ext_get compared user data lengths against max_size
directly, ignoring that cdata->data sits at an offset of
sizeof(struct sof_ipc_ctrl_data) bytes into the allocation.

This allowed writing up to sizeof(struct sof_ipc_ctrl_data) bytes past
the end of the heap buffer from unprivileged userspace via the ALSA TLV
kcontrol interface, and similarly allowed over-reading adjacent heap
data on the get path.

Fix all bounds checks to subtract sizeof(*cdata) from max_size so they
reflect the actual space available at the cdata->data offset. Also fix
the error-path restore in bytes_ext_put which wrote to cdata->data
instead of cdata, causing the same overflow.

Fixes: 67ec2a091630 ("ASoC: SOF: Add bytes_ext control IPC ops for IPC3")
