If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@xxxxxxxxx> commit 601bbbe0517303c9f8eb3d75e11d64efed1293c9 upstream. If user tries to initialize uinput device mixing old and new style initialization (i.e. using old UI_SET_ABSBIT instead of UI_ABS_SETUP, we forget to allocate input->absinfo and will crash when trying to send absolute events: ioctl(ui, UI_DEV_SETUP, &us); ioctl(ui, UI_SET_PHYS, "Test"); ioctl(ui, UI_SET_EVBIT, EV_ABS); ioctl(ui, UI_SET_ABSBIT, ABS_X); ioctl(ui, UI_SET_ABSBIT, ABS_Y); ioctl(ui, UI_DEV_CREATE, 0); Reported-by: Rodrigo Rivas Costa <rodrigorivascosta@xxxxxxxxx> Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191811 Fixes: fbae10db0940 ("Input: uinput - rework ABS validation") Reviewed-by: Benjamin Tissoires <benjamin.tissoires@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/input/misc/uinput.c | 20 ++++++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) --- a/drivers/input/misc/uinput.c +++ b/drivers/input/misc/uinput.c @@ -263,13 +263,21 @@ static int uinput_create_device(struct u return -EINVAL; } - if (test_bit(ABS_MT_SLOT, dev->absbit)) { - nslot = input_abs_get_max(dev, ABS_MT_SLOT) + 1; - error = input_mt_init_slots(dev, nslot, 0); - if (error) + if (test_bit(EV_ABS, dev->evbit)) { + input_alloc_absinfo(dev); + if (!dev->absinfo) { + error = -EINVAL; goto fail1; - } else if (test_bit(ABS_MT_POSITION_X, dev->absbit)) { - input_set_events_per_packet(dev, 60); + } + + if (test_bit(ABS_MT_SLOT, dev->absbit)) { + nslot = input_abs_get_max(dev, ABS_MT_SLOT) + 1; + error = input_mt_init_slots(dev, nslot, 0); + if (error) + goto fail1; + } else if (test_bit(ABS_MT_POSITION_X, dev->absbit)) { + input_set_events_per_packet(dev, 60); + } } if (test_bit(EV_FF, dev->evbit) && !udev->ff_effects_max) { -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
