Subject: [PATCH] thermal/drivers/sprd: validate the sensor id from the device tree
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 14:27:57 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260926042757.2109927-1-geoffreyhe2@gmail.com> (raw)
sprd_thm_probe() reads each sensor child node's "reg" property into
sen->id and uses it without validation: to compute the sensor's
register offsets in sprd_thm_sensor_init(), as the thermal zone id, and
finally as an index into thm->sensor[], which has SPRD_THM_MAX_SENSOR
(8) entries:
ret = of_property_read_u32(sen_child, "reg", &sen->id);
...
thm->sensor[sen->id] = sen;
Only the number of sensor nodes is checked against SPRD_THM_MAX_SENSOR.
A "reg" value of 8 or more, or one that is negative once stored in the
int sen->id, makes the register offsets point outside the sensor range
and the final store land outside thm->sensor[], overwriting the fields
that follow it in struct sprd_thermal_data or other memory.
Reject an out-of-range id right after reading it, before it is used.
This does not address sparse ids, such as a single sensor with id 7:
they leave holes in thm->sensor[] that the later loops over
0..nr_sensors-1 dereference. That needs a separate fix.
Found by static analysis tool CodeQL.

Notes:
Compile-tested only (ARCH=arm64 allmodconfig, W=1). Not tested on
hardware, and there is no reproducer.
The CodeQL query behind this report was synthesized with LLM assistance,
and the fix and changelog were drafted with LLM assistance; I have
reviewed them.
