Summary

Linux kernel versions from 4.4 are affected by a flaw in the arm_scpi firmware driver. The scpi_dvfs_get_info() function rejected a zero OPP count but accepted larger values from SCP firmware, so a count above MAX_DVFS_OPPS causes an out-of-bounds read and an incorrectly sized OPP table allocation. The missing upper bound check dates back to the original SCPI DVFS support.

Description from the CNA

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: firmware: arm_scpi: reject DVFS OPP count above MAX_DVFS_OPPS scpi_dvfs_get_info() already rejected a zero opp_count, but still trusted any larger value from the SCP firmware. The shared-memory reply only holds MAX_DVFS_OPPS entries in buf.opps[]; a bigger count over-reads that array and then sizes the allocated OPP table incorrectly (garbage OPPs / OOB). The missing upper bound dates back to the original SCPI DVFS support. Reject zero and out-of-range counts in one check and return -EINVAL.
