Subject: [PATCH 1/3] platform/x86: dell-laptop: Reject keyboard backlight timeouts that overflow
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 22:29:25 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1e1cc5a497ca95a0b34e45738f81a4be681675fd.1794633179.git.rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1794633179.git.rosenp@gmail.com>
kbd_led_timeout_store() converts a timeout that is too large for its
unit to seconds with plain int multiplication. A large enough value
wraps, and if the wrapped number happens to be a valid timeout it is
accepted. On a Precision M4800, writing "4424214d" (over 12000 years)
to stop_timeout sets the timeout to 4 minutes, and "18989323d" sets it
to 2 minutes.
Convert with check_mul_overflow() and return -EINVAL on overflow.
Fixes: 02b2aaaa57ab ("platform: x86: dell-laptop: Add support for keyboard backlight")
