[PATCH] iio: adc: pac1934: validate ACPI _DSM return type and bounds
From: Tristan Madani
Date: Mon Oct 26 2026 - 19:11:44 EST
pac1934_acpi_parse_channel_config() calls acpi_evaluate_dsm() four
times to read channel configuration but does not validate the returned
object type or array bounds:
1. No check that the returned object is ACPI_TYPE_PACKAGE. If
firmware returns a different type, accessing rez->package.count
and rez->package.elements on a non-package object produces
unpredictable values.
2. The loop bounds use rez->package.count directly without capping
to PAC1934_MAX_NUM_CHANNELS (4). A package with more elements
than expected causes writes past the fixed-size labels[],
shunts[], and active_channels[] arrays.
3. The bipolar and sample rate DSM calls access elements[0] without
verifying package.count >= 1.
Add ACPI_TYPE_PACKAGE validation after each acpi_evaluate_dsm() call,
cap loop iterations to PAC1934_MAX_NUM_CHANNELS, and verify package
count >= 1 before accessing elements[0].
