This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled platform/x86: wmi: Break possible infinite loop when parsing GUID to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: platform-x86-wmi-break-possible-infinite-loop-when-p.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 0933ab92bd2131f9808f5c3297b0767d3cb65a9b Author: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jun 21 18:11:54 2023 +0300 platform/x86: wmi: Break possible infinite loop when parsing GUID [ Upstream commit 028e6e204ace1f080cfeacd72c50397eb8ae8883 ] The while-loop may break on one of the two conditions, either ID string is empty or GUID matches. The second one, may never be reached if the parsed string is not correct GUID. In such a case the loop will never advance to check the next ID. Break possible infinite loop by factoring out guid_parse_and_compare() helper which may be moved to the generic header for everyone later on and preventing from similar mistake in the future. Interestingly that firstly it appeared when WMI was turned into a bus driver, but later when duplicated GUIDs were checked, the while-loop has been replaced by for-loop and hence no mistake made again.
