Type:
CWE-125

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.
