[PATCH 0/2] input/hid: Fix bitmap boundary validation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It recently became apparent that some of the low-level input and hid
helpers lack some form of input validation when associating an event
code with their internal capability bitmap, leading to potential
memory corruption.

These two patches address two occurrences of that issue, by masking
out the top bits of the event code (all capability bitmaps are
conveniently sized as power of twos), and spitting out a warning for
further debugging.

Marc Zyngier (2):
  Input; Sanitize event code before modifying bitmaps
  HID: core; Sanitize event code and type before mapping input
