[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ALSA: hda - fix out of bounds read on spec->smux_paths

[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ALSA: hda - fix out of bounds read on spec->smux_paths

[Colin King]

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

It is possible for the call to snd_hda_get_num_conns to fail and return
a negative error code that gets assigned to num_conns. In that specific
case, the check of very large values of val against num_conns will not
fail the -EINVAL check and later on an out of bounds array read on
spec->smux_paths will occur.  Fix this by sanity checking for an error
return from the call to snd_hda_get_num_conns.

Thanks for the patch, but this can't happen.
The ad1988_auto_smux_enum_put() is used only for IEC958 Playback
Source element, and it's added in ad1988_add_spdif_mux_ctl().  And
there at the beginning, there is already a check of the value:

	num_conns = snd_hda_get_num_conns(codec, 0x0b) + 1;
	if (num_conns != 3 && num_conns != 4)
		return 0;
				
And the snd_hda_get_num_conns() function returns the cached value,
hence it's always same at the second and later calls, so it can't be a
negative error.

That said, I don't think we need to apply the change as is.  But if we
were to improve something, we can rather record this number more
explicitly e.g. introduce a new field spec->num_spdif_mux_conns and
keep there instead of calling snd_hda_get_num_conns() at each place.


thanks,

Takashi

Ah, OK, sorry about the noise.

That would seem more optimal for sure.
