Subject: [PATCH v2] Input: joydev - avoid signed overflow in the broken-axis correction
Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2026 16:55:14 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103085514.431010-1-zhugl3@xiaopeng.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261103084135.426629-2-zhugl3@xiaopeng.com>
The JS_CORR_BROKEN correction multiplies two user-controlled 32-bit
values before shifting and clamping the result:
value = value > corr->coef[0] ? (value < corr->coef[1] ? 0 :
((corr->coef[3] * (value - corr->coef[1])) >> 14)) :
((corr->coef[2] * (value - corr->coef[0])) >> 14);
The coefficients come from JSIOCSCORR without any range check, so
three things can go wrong: the subtractions can overflow 32 bits
(value = 0 against coef[1] = INT_MIN), the products can overflow the
type, and a product that survives the multiplication in 64 bits can
still wrap when the shifted result is assigned back to the int
variable, which then slips through clamp() as a small value instead
of saturating.
Compute the whole correction in 64 bits, including the subtractions,
and clamp with clamp_t(s64, ...) before narrowing, which is
bit-identical for every in-range input.

v2: per review, extend the 64-bit computation to cover the subtractions
((s64)value - coef, which could overflow 32 bits before the
promotion in v1) and keep the shifted product in s64 through
clamp_t(s64, ...) so an out-of-range result saturates instead of
wrapping during the narrowing to int.
