[PATCH] staging: greybus: audio: bound topology parsing to the received buffer

by Muhammad Bilal

The Greybus audio topology parser trusts length and count fields taken straight from the module's topology blob and never checks them against the size of the buffer it actually allocated, leading to out-of-bounds reads of the kernel heap. gb_audio_gb_get_topology() reads a u16 size from the module, allocates a buffer of that size, fetches the topology into it, and then discards the size. gbaudio_tplg_parse_data() then walks that buffer using fields stored inside it: - gbaudio_tplg_process_header() computes the control, widget and route block offsets by adding the wire-supplied __le32 size_dais, size_controls and size_widgets onto the buffer base with no bound, so a module that reports a small allocation size but large block sizes moves those offsets far past the end of the buffer before they are dereferenced. - gbaudio_tplg_process_kcontrols(), _process_widgets() and _process_routes() iterate num_controls / num_widgets / num_routes (also from the blob) and advance a pointer by a per-element size that includes the __le16 names_length of an enumerated control, again with no check that the element stays inside the buffer. - gb_generate_enum_strings() loops over an attacker-controlled __le32 items count and, for each, scans for a NUL terminator with no end pointer, walking off the end of the buffer. A malicious or malfunctioning module can therefore make the parser read past the allocation. The wild block offsets are most likely to hit an unmapped page and oops (denial of service); the byte-at-a-time enum scan walks from a still-valid pointer and can copy adjacent heap bytes into ALSA control name strings, which are readable by unprivileged local users, so an information leak cannot be ruled out. Thread the allocated topology size from gb_audio_gb_get_topology() through to gbaudio_tplg_parse_data() and bound every walk against the end of the buffer: verify the block offsets are ordered and within the buffer (the "< previous" tests also catch a 32-bit unsigned wrap of the running offset), check each control, widget and route lies fully inside its block before use, and give gb_generate_enum_strings() an explicit end pointer plus an items-versus-names_length sanity check.

[PATCH] staging: greybus: Replace sprintf with sysfs_emit

by Mohammad Davoudi

Replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit() in sysfs show functions. The sprintf() function is unaware of the PAGE_SIZE limit of the sysfs buffer, which can potentially lead to buffer overruns. sysfs_emit() is strictly designed for sysfs attributes and inherently protects against buffer boundaries.

[PATCH] staging: greybus: hid: fix SET_REPORT return value

by Hao-Qun Huang

__gb_hid_output_raw_report() stores the result of gb_hid_set_report() in ret and even adjusts it to account for the report ID byte, but then always returns 0. This hides Greybus transport errors from HID_REQ_SET_REPORT callers, and makes hidraw report zero bytes written to user space on success, although hid_hw_raw_request() is expected to return the number of bytes transferred or a negative errno. The sibling GET_REPORT path, __gb_hid_get_raw_report(), already follows this convention. Return ret like the other HID transport drivers do.

[PATCH 0/2] Bring includes in linux/kmod.h up to date

by Petr Pavlu

The usermode helper declarations were previously provided by linux/kmod.h but commit c1f3fa2a4fde ("kmod: split off umh headers into its own file") moved them to linux/umh.h in 2017. Add explicit includes of linux/umh.h to files that use usermode helpers and remove linux/kmod.h where it is no longer needed. Then clean up linux/kmod.h so that it includes only the headers that it actually requires, importantly removing the compat linux/umh.h include. Apologies for the wide distribution. This cleanup is motivated by trying to reduce the preprocessed size of linux/module.h, which includes linux/kmod.h. The linux/module.h header is included by every *.mod.c file to provide `struct module` and other related definitions, so it should avoid pulling in unnecessary dependencies. Note that this series doesn't immediately improve the situation, since most of the files included by linux/kmod.h are, for now, also included by linux/module.h through other paths.

[RFC] staging: greybus: arche still depends on missing USB3613 provider

by Pengpeng Hou

Hi, while auditing conditional provider/header contracts, I noticed that Greybus Arche still appears to describe a USB3613 provider world that is absent from current mainline. drivers/staging/greybus/Kconfig still has: depends on USB_HSIC_USB3613 || COMPILE_TEST and drivers/staging/greybus/arche-platform.c still conditionally includes the USB3613 header and calls usb3613_hub_mode_ctrl() when CONFIG_USB_HSIC_USB3613 is enabled. However, the current tree does not appear to provide include/linux/usb/usb3613.h or a Kconfig provider for USB_HSIC_USB3613. I am not sending a patch yet because this is staging/hardware policy sensitive. The possible directions seem to be: 1. restore or move the USB3613 provider/header if the hardware path is still intended; 2. remove the stale USB3613 integration path and rely on the local stub; 3. change the Kconfig dependency to describe only current supported worlds; or 4. keep the contract if an out-of-tree provider is intentionally expected. Could you advise which direction is expected for Arche? This is static source/Kconfig/header analysis only. I have not tested Arche hardware. Thanks, Pengpeng

[PATCH v1] greybus: Drop #include of <linux/mod_devicetable.h>

by Uwe Kleine-König (The Capable Hub)

The header itself also includes <linux/types.h> and additional to that doesn't make use of any symbol defined (transitively) by <linux/mod_devicetable.h>. Also the .c files that include that header don't need it (there is no direct include, only via <linux/greybus.h>): $ git grep -l greybus\\.h | xargs grep -E "\<(acpi_device_id|amba_id|ap_device_id|apr_device_id|auxiliary_device_id|bcma_device_id|ccw_device_id|cdx_device_id|coreboot_device_id|css_device_id|dfl_device_id|dmi_(device|system)_id|eisa_device_id|fsl_mc_device_id|hda_device_id|hid_device_id|hv_vmbus_device_id|i2c_device_id|i3c_device_id|ieee1394_device_id|input_device_id|ipack_device_id|isapnp_device_id|ishtp_device_id|mcb_device_id|mdio_device_id|mei_cl_device_id|mhi_device_id|mips_cdmm_device_id|of_device_id|parisc_device_id|pci_device_id|pci_epf_device_id|pcmcia_device_id|platform_device_id|pnp_(card_)?device_id|rio_device_id|rpmsg_device_id|sdio_device_id|sdw_device_id|serio_device_id|slim_device_id|spi_device_id|spmi_device_id|ssam_device_id|ssb_device_id|tb_service_id|tee_client_device_id|typec_device_id|ulpi_device_id|usb_device_id|vchiq_device_id|virtio_device_id|wmi_device_id|x86_(cpu|device)_id|zorro_device_id|cpu_feature)\>" drivers/greybus/es2.c:static const struct usb_device_id id_table[] = { drivers/greybus/es2.c: const struct usb_device_id *id) drivers/greybus/gb-beagleplay.c:static const struct of_device_id gb_beagleplay_of_match[] = { drivers/staging/greybus/arche-platform.c:static const struct of_device_id arche_platform_of_match[] = { drivers/greybus/es2.c includes <linux/usb.h>, drivers/greybus/gb-beagleplay.c includes <linux/serdev.h> which provides of_device_id via <linux/device.h>, similar drivers/staging/greybus/arche-platform.c includes <linux/platform_device.h> which also provides of_device_id.
