Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net: lan743x: fix potential out-of-bounds write in lan743x_ptp_io_event_clock_get()<br />
<br />
Before calling lan743x_ptp_io_event_clock_get(), the &#39;channel&#39; value<br />
is checked against the maximum value of PCI11X1X_PTP_IO_MAX_CHANNELS(8).<br />
This seems correct and aligns with the PTP interrupt status register<br />
(PTP_INT_STS) specifications.<br />
<br />
However, lan743x_ptp_io_event_clock_get() writes to ptp->extts[] with<br />
only LAN743X_PTP_N_EXTTS(4) elements, using channel as an index:<br />
<br />
lan743x_ptp_io_event_clock_get(..., u8 channel,...)<br />
{<br />
...<br />
/* Update Local timestamp */<br />
extts = &ptp->extts[channel];<br />
extts->ts.tv_sec = sec;<br />
...<br />
}<br />
<br />
To avoid an out-of-bounds write and utilize all the supported GPIO<br />
inputs, set LAN743X_PTP_N_EXTTS to 8.<br />
<br />
Detected using the static analysis tool - Svace.
