intel_dsm_platform_mux_info() tries to parse the ACPI package data from _DSM for the debug information, but it assumes the fixed format without checking what values are stored in the elements actually. When an unexpected value is returned from BIOS, it may lead to GPF or NULL dereference, as reported recently. Add the checks of the contents in the returned values and skip the values for invalid cases. v1->v2: Check the info contents before dereferencing, too BugLink: http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1184074 Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210402082317.871-1-tiwai@suse.de
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
