This fixes a global out-of-bounds read access in the next_valid_format function of the floppy driver. The values from autodetect field of the struct floppy_drive_params are used as indices for the floppy_type array in the next_valid_format function 'floppy_type[DP->autodetect[probed_format]].sect'. To trigger the bug, one could use a value out of range and set the drive parameters with the FDSETDRVPRM ioctl. A floppy disk is not required to be inserted. CAP_SYS_ADMIN is required to call FDSETDRVPRM. The patch adds the check for values of the autodetect field to be in the '0 <= x < ARRAY_SIZE(floppy_type)' range of the floppy_type array indices. The bug was found by syzkaller. Signed-off-by: Denis Efremov <efremov@ispras.ru> Tested-by: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
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.
