[PATCH v2 3/6] irqchip/gic-v3: validate MADT records before use
From: Jiale Yao
Date: Wed Oct 21 2026 - 10:47:55 EST
The GICv3 ACPI paths cast generic MADT headers to distributor,
redistributor, and CPU interface records before confirming that the
required fields are present. Truncated records can therefore cause
out-of-bounds field reads while probing or setting up virtualization data.
Validate fixed-size distributor and redistributor records before their
first field access. Use the version-aware GICC minimum size for CPU
interface records so valid entries from older ACPI revisions remain
accepted. Validate the distributor in the version callback, which runs
before the probe callback uses the same record.
Fixes: ffa7d6166a96 ("irqchip/gic-v3: Add ACPI support for GICv3/4 initialization")
Fixes: b70fb7af6715 ("irqchip/gic-v3: ACPI: Add redistributor support via GICC structures")
Fixes: 1839e576968f ("irqchip/gic-v3: Parse and export virtual GIC information")
