Vulnerability CVE-2024-46743
Published: 2024-09-18

Description:
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

of/irq: Prevent device address out-of-bounds read in interrupt map walk

When of_irq_parse_raw() is invoked with a device address smaller than
the interrupt parent node (from #address-cells property), KASAN detects
the following out-of-bounds read when populating the initial match table
(dyndbg="func of_irq_parse_* +p"):

OF: of_irq_parse_one: dev=/soc@0/picasso/watchdog, index=0
OF: parent=/soc@0/pci@878000000000/gpio0@17,0, intsize=2
OF: intspec=4
OF: of_irq_parse_raw: ipar=/soc@0/pci@878000000000/gpio0@17,0, size=2
OF: -> addrsize=3

The buggy address belongs to the object at ffffff81beca5600
which belongs to the cache kmalloc-128 of size 128
The buggy address is located 8 bytes inside of
128-byte region [ffffff81beca5600, ffffff81beca5680)

The buggy address belongs to the physical page:

OF: -> got it !

Prevent the out-of-bounds read by copying the device address into a
buffer of sufficient size.
