If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 0d844a37210bede6c1e6a761211eeaa8a9166af4 Author: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Oct 15 15:23:01 2024 +0200 media: dvbdev: prevent the risk of out of memory access [ Upstream commit 972e63e895abbe8aa1ccbdbb4e6362abda7cd457 ] The dvbdev contains a static variable used to store dvb minors. The behavior of it depends if CONFIG_DVB_DYNAMIC_MINORS is set or not. When not set, dvb_register_device() won't check for boundaries, as it will rely that a previous call to dvb_register_adapter() would already be enforcing it. On a similar way, dvb_device_open() uses the assumption that the register functions already did the needed checks. This can be fragile if some device ends using different calls. This also generate warnings on static check analysers like Coverity. So, add explicit guards to prevent potential risk of OOM issues.
