Subject: Input: touchwin - reset the packet index on every complete packet
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=478cdd736f2ce3114f90e775d7358136d3977b94;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

Input: touchwin - reset the packet index on every complete packet

tw_interrupt() accumulates each non-zero serial byte into a fixed
three-byte buffer with a running index that is only reset once a full
packet has been received *and* the device's two Y bytes agree:

	tw->data[tw->idx++] = data;
	if (tw->idx == TW_LENGTH && tw->data[1] == tw->data[2]) {
		...
		tw->idx = 0;
	}

The reset is gated on tw->data[1] == tw->data[2], a value the device
controls.  A malicious, malfunctioning or counterfeit Touchwindow
peripheral can stream non-zero bytes whose 2nd and 3rd bytes differ: the
index reaches TW_LENGTH without the equality holding, is never reset, and
keeps growing, so tw->data[tw->idx++] walks off the end of the three-byte
array and the rest of the heap-allocated struct tw, one attacker-chosen
byte at a time -- an unbounded, device-driven heap out-of-bounds write.

Reset the index on every completed packet and report an event only when
the two Y bytes match, like the other serio touchscreen drivers do.
