[PATCH] remoteproc: core: fix integer overflow in rproc_da_to_va() bounds check

From: Atul Akella

Date: Sat Oct 31 2026 - 12:11:50 EST


offset is calculated as da - carveout->da and stored in a 32 bit
signed int, while da and carveout->da are both u64. For a
sufficiently small da, the 64bit difference is truncated into the
32 bit int, bypassing the offset < 0 underflow check with a small
positive value. Additionally, offset + len > carveout->len can
itself overflow when offset and len are both large, providing a
second bypass.

Rewrite the bounds check entirely in u64 arithmetic. Reject
underflow before computing offset (da < carveout->da). Replace the
addition-based overflow check with a subtraction-based one
(len > carveout->len - offset) so no intermediate sum can wrap.
