Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-02-26 03:05:16 UTC
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

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.
