Subject: [PATCH] leds: uleds: fix unchecked copy_to_user() in uleds_read()
Date: Mon,  5 May 2025 11:13:42 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250505081342.3855-1-sid@itb.spb.ru> (raw)

The copy_to_user() is annotated with __must_check, indicating that
its return value must be checked by the caller. Currently, uleds_read()
ignores it. If the userspace buffer is invalid and copy_to_user() fails,
the userspace application may assume it has received fresh data, while
in fact copying has failed. This can leave applications out of sync
with the actual device state.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Fixes: e381322b0190 ("leds: Introduce userspace LED class driver")
