Re: [PATCH] platform/x86: intel_pmc_core: Prevent possibile overflow

From: Evgeny Novikov

Hi David,

Your patch fixes the out of bound issue, but I have another concern regarding possible incomplete initialization of first 8 elements of the lpm_priority array that is declared on the stack and is not initialized, say, with zeroes. Yet again due to some invalid values coming from the register, it is not guaranteed that something meaningful will be assigned for all first 8 elements of lpm_priority in the first cycle in pmc_core_get_low_power_modes(). In the second cycle this function accesses all these elements from lpm_priority. Though there is test "!(BIT(mode) & lpm_en)", it can pass accidentally, thus some unexpected values can be stored to "pmcdev->lpm_en_modes[i++]" and exposed later.


Best regards,
Evgeny Novikov

Low Power Mode (LPM) priority is encoded in 4 bits. Yet, this value is used
as an index to an array whose element size was less than 16, leading to the
possibility of overflow should we read a larger than expected priority. Set
the array size to 16 to prevent this.
