Subject: [PATCHv4] dmaengine: bestcomm: gen_bd: fix out-of-bounds access in PSC parameter lookup
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 00:26:08 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915072608.57887-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
The bcom_psc_params[] array has 6 entries (indices 0-5), but
bcom_psc_gen_bd_rx_init() checked against MPC52xx_PSC_MAXNUM which can
be 12 when CONFIG_PPC_MPC512x is set, allowing indices 6-11 to pass
and read past the array. The tx init function had no bounds check at
all.
A malformed device tree with a large cell-index could therefore trigger
an out-of-bounds read. The garbage initiator and ipr values would then
be used for MMIO writes via out_8(&bcom_eng->regs->ipr[...], ...),
potentially causing out-of-bounds MMIO accesses.

v4: actually bcom_psc_gen_bd_tx_init is still needed.
v3: reduce bounds check to single function. It's not used anywhere anyway.
v2: fix title
