char: applicom: fix NULL pointer dereference in ac_ioctl

2026-01-19T12:11:49+00:00

commit 82d12088c297fa1cef670e1718b3d24f414c23f7 upstream. Discovered by Atuin - Automated Vulnerability Discovery Engine. In ac_ioctl, the validation of IndexCard and the check for a valid RamIO pointer are skipped when cmd is 6. However, the function unconditionally executes readb(apbs[IndexCard].RamIO + VERS) at the end. If cmd is 6, IndexCard may reference a board that does not exist (where RamIO is NULL), leading to a NULL pointer dereference. Fix this by skipping the readb access when cmd is 6, as this command is a global information query and does not target a specific board context.

misc: cleanup minor number definitions in c file into miscdevice.h

2020-03-18T11:27:03+00:00

HWRNG_MINOR and RNG_MISCDEV_MINOR are duplicate definitions, use unified HWRNG_MINOR instead and moved into miscdevice.h ANSLCD_MINOR and LCD_MINOR are duplicate definitions, use unified LCD_MINOR instead and moved into miscdevice.h MISCDEV_MINOR is renamed to PXA3XX_GCU_MINOR and moved into miscdevice.h Other definitions are just moved without any change.

remove ioremap_nocache and devm_ioremap_nocache

ioremap has provided non-cached semantics by default since the Linux 2.6 days, so remove the additional ioremap_nocache interface. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann

applicom: Fix potential Spectre v1 vulnerabilities

2019-01-22T12:34:35+00:00

IndexCard is indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability. This issue was detected with the help of Smatch: drivers/char/applicom.c:418 ac_write() warn: potential spectre issue 'apbs' [r] drivers/char/applicom.c:728 ac_ioctl() warn: potential spectre issue 'apbs' [r] (local cap) Fix this by sanitizing IndexCard before using it to index apbs. Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be completed with a dependent load/store [1].

Annotate hardware config module parameters in drivers/char/

2017-04-20T11:02:32+00:00

When the kernel is running in secure boot mode, we lock down the kernel to prevent userspace from modifying the running kernel image. Whilst this includes prohibiting access to things like /dev/mem, it must also prevent access by means of configuring driver modules in such a way as to cause a device to access or modify the kernel image. To this end, annotate module_param* statements that refer to hardware configuration and indicate for future reference what type of parameter they specify. The parameter parser in the core sees this information and can skip such parameters with an error message if the kernel is locked down. The module initialisation then runs as normal, but just sees whatever the default values for those parameters is. Note that we do still need to do the module initialisation because some drivers have viable defaults set in case parameters aren't specified and some drivers support automatic configuration (e.g. PNP or PCI) in addition to manually coded parameters. This patch annotates drivers in drivers/char/. Suggested-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: David Howells Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman cc: Arnd Bergmann

applicom: dereferencing NULL on error path

2014-05-28T00:43:12+00:00

This is a static checker fix. The "dev" variable is always NULL after the while statement so we would be dereferencing a NULL pointer here. Fixes: 819a3eba4233 ('[PATCH] applicom: fix error handling') Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
