Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `synaptics-rmi4` input driver. The `rmi_f3a_map_gpios()` function incorrectly allocates memory for the `gpio_key_map`, making it smaller than required. This allows a device reporting a specific `gpio_count` value to trigger an out-of-bounds read, leading to information disclosure by leaking adjacent slab memory to user space. Additionally, a local user with access to the `evdev` node can exploit this vulnerability to perform out-of-bounds writes with caller-controlled values, which may lead to further system compromise.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-25 10:14:48 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Input: synaptics-rmi4 - bound the F3A keymap to the GPIO count

rmi_f3a_initialize() takes the GPIO count from the device query register
(f3a->gpio_count = buf & RMI_F3A_GPIO_COUNT, range 0..127).
rmi_f3a_map_gpios() then allocates gpio_key_map with
min(gpio_count, TRACKSTICK_RANGE_END) == at most 6 entries, but
rmi_f3a_attention() iterates the full gpio_count and dereferences
gpio_key_map[i], and input->keycodemax is set to the full gpio_count
while input->keycode points at the 6-entry allocation.

A device that reports gpio_count > 6 therefore causes an out-of-bounds
read of gpio_key_map[] on every attention interrupt, and out-of-bounds
accesses through the input core's default keymap ioctls: EVIOCGKEYCODE
reads past the buffer (leaking adjacent slab memory to user space) and
EVIOCSKEYCODE writes a caller-controlled value past it, for any process
able to open the evdev node, since input_default_getkeycode() and
input_default_setkeycode() only bound the index against keycodemax.

Size the keymap for the full gpio_count. The mapping loop is unchanged:
it still assigns only the first min(gpio_count, TRACKSTICK_RANGE_END)
entries; the remaining slots stay KEY_RESERVED (devm_kcalloc zero-fills)
and are skipped when reporting.
