cpu/hotplug: Fix out-of-bounds read when setting fail state
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
[ Upstream commit 33d4a5a ]

Setting invalid value to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/hotplug/fail
can control `struct cpuhp_step *sp` address, results in the following
global-out-of-bounds read.

Reproducer:

  # echo -2 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/hotplug/fail

KASAN report:

  BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in write_cpuhp_fail+0x2cd/0x2e0
  Read of size 8 at addr ffffffff89734438 by task bash/1941

  CPU: 0 PID: 1941 Comm: bash Not tainted 5.2.0-rc6+ Freescale#31

  The buggy address belongs to the variable:
   cpu_hotplug_lock+0x98/0xa0

  Memory state around the buggy address:
   ffffffff89734300: fa fa fa fa 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

   ffffffff89734500: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Add a sanity check for the value written from user space.
