Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

regulator: da9121: Fix uninit-value in da9121_assign_chip_model()

KASAN report slab-out-of-bounds in __regmap_init as follows:

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in __regmap_init drivers/base/regmap/regmap.c:841
Read of size 1 at addr ffff88803678cdf1 by task xrun/9137

CPU: 0 PID: 9137 Comm: xrun Tainted: G W 5.18.0-rc2
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.13.0-1ubuntu1.1 04/01/2014
Call Trace:

i2c_device_probe+0x959/0xac0 drivers/i2c/i2c-core-base.c:563

This happend when da9121 device is probe by da9121_i2c_id, but with
invalid dts. Thus, chip->subvariant_id is set to -EINVAL, and later
da9121_assign_chip_model() will access 'regmap' without init it.

Fix it by return -EINVAL from da9121_assign_chip_model() if
'chip->subvariant_id' is invalid.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
