Subject: [PATCH 1/6] comedi: comedi_parport: validate the IRQ supplied by userspace
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 16:18:42 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909104848.1763-2-yogeshgaur.83@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260909104848.1763-1-yogeshgaur.83@gmail.com>
comedi boards are configured through the COMEDI_DEVCONFIG ioctl, so
it->options[1] is a number chosen by userspace. comedi_parport passes it to
request_irq() without checking it first, which lets an interrupt owned by
another irqdomain -- a PCI device's IO-APIC GSI, for instance -- be
claimed for this board. When the owner of that interrupt is later
released the descriptor is freed while this driver's handler is still
installed on it.
A parallel port asserts a legacy ISA interrupt, so the ISA range is the
right bound; it is also sufficient, because mp_chip_data->isa_irq is set
only by alloc_isa_irq_from_domain() and mp_unmap_irq() returns early when
it is set.
syzbot hit this one:
remove_proc_entry: removing non-empty directory 'irq/20', leaking at least 'comedi_parport'

</TASK>
The leaked /proc entry the warning names is the mild part.
mp_chip_data->count tracks GSI mappings rather than request_irq() users,
and __setup_irq() takes no reference on the descriptor, so the irq_desc
is freed with the comedi irqaction still attached to it.
Bound the value before requesting it, as das16m1.c already does. An
out-of-range value is ignored rather than rejected, so the board still
attaches without interrupt support, exactly as it does today when
request_irq() fails.
