This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled gpio: GPIO_GET_CHIPINFO_IOCTL: Fix line offset validation to the 4.8-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: gpio-gpio_get_chipinfo_ioctl-fix-line-offset-validation.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 1f1cc4566bd9dd8d3cf19965a4b6392143618536 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2016 16:53:59 +0200 Subject: gpio: GPIO_GET_CHIPINFO_IOCTL: Fix line offset validation From: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 1f1cc4566bd9dd8d3cf19965a4b6392143618536 upstream. The current line offset validation is off by one. Depending on the data stored behind the descs array this can either cause undefined behavior or disclose arbitrary, potentially sensitive, memory to the issuing userspace application. Make sure that offset is within the bounds of the desc array.
