During wacom_parse_and_register() the code calls wacom_devm_kfifo_alloc to allocate a fifo. During this operation it passes kfifo_alloc a fifo_size of 0. Kfifo attempts to round the size passed to it to the next power of 2 via roundup_pow_of_two (queue-type data structures do this to maintain efficiency of operations).
However during this phase a problem arises when the roundup_pow_of_two() function utilises a shift exponent of fls_long(n-1), where n is the fifo_size. Since n is 0 in this case and n is also an unsigned long, doing n-1 causes unsigned integer wrap-around to occur making the fifo_size 4294967295. So the code effectively does fls_long(4294967295) which results in 64. Returning back to roundup_pow_of_two(), the code utilises a shift exponent of 64. When a shift exponent of 64 is used on a 64-bit type such as 1UL it results in a shift-out-of-bounds.
The root cause of the issue seems to stem from insufficient validation of wacom_compute_pktlen(), since in this case the fifo_size comes from wacom_wac->features.pktlen. During wacom_parse_and_register() the wacom_compute_pktlen() function sets the pktlen as 0.
To fix this, we should handle cases where wacom_compute_pktlen() results in 0.

Hi,
This is the semi-friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman.
Markus, you seem to have sent a nonsensical or otherwise pointless review comment to a patch submission on a Linux kernel developer mailing list. I strongly suggest that you not do this anymore. Please do not bother developers who are actively working to produce patches and features with comments that, in the end, are a waste of time.
Patch submitter, please ignore Markus's suggestion; you do not need to follow it at all. The person/bot/AI that sent it is being ignored by almost all Linux kernel maintainers for having a persistent pattern of behavior of producing distracting and pointless commentary, and inability to adapt to feedback. Please feel free to also ignore emails from them.
thanks,
greg k-h's patch email bot
