Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> dmaengine: ti: edma: Fix memory allocation size for queue_priority_map<br /> <br /> Fix a critical memory allocation bug in edma_setup_from_hw() where<br /> queue_priority_map was allocated with insufficient memory. The code<br /> declared queue_priority_map as s8 (*)[2] (pointer to array of 2 s8),<br /> but allocated memory using sizeof(s8) instead of the correct size.<br /> <br /> This caused out-of-bounds memory writes when accessing:<br /> queue_priority_map[i][0] = i;<br /> queue_priority_map[i][1] = i;<br /> <br /> The bug manifested as kernel crashes with "Oops - undefined instruction"<br /> on ARM platforms (BeagleBoard-X15) during EDMA driver probe, as the<br /> memory corruption triggered kernel hardening features on Clang.<br /> <br /> Change the allocation to use sizeof(*queue_priority_map) which<br /> automatically gets the correct size for the 2D array structure.
