[PATCH] cpu/hotplug: Fix out-of-bounds read when setting fail state

From: Eiichi Tsukata
Date: Wed Jun 26 2019 - 22:48:23 EST


Setting invalid value to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/hotplug/fail
can control `struct cpuhp_step *sp` address, results in the following
global-out-of-bounds read.

Reproducer:

# echo -2 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/hotplug/fail

KASAN report:

The buggy address belongs to the variable:

Memory state around the buggy address:

ffffffff89734500: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Adds sanity check for given value `fail`.
