Summary

In the Goodix touchscreen driver, the contact count reported by the device is not clamped. The max_touch_num value (0-15) is taken from configuration without clamping, which can lead to a stack out-of-bounds write in goodix_ts_read_input_report() when touch_num > 10.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can cause a stack out-of-bounds write, leading to privilege escalation or system crash.

Recommendation

Apply the kernel patch that clamps max_touch_num to GOODIX_MAX_CONTACTS (10) when reading it from the configuration.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Input: goodix - clamp the device-reported contact count goodix_ts_read_input_report() copies the number of touch points reported by the device into an on-stack buffer u8 point_data[2 + GOODIX_MAX_CONTACT_SIZE * GOODIX_MAX_CONTACTS]; which is sized for at most GOODIX_MAX_CONTACTS (10) contacts. The only runtime check bounds the per-interrupt count against ts->max_touch_num, but that value is taken verbatim from a 4-bit field of the device configuration block and is never clamped: ts->max_touch_num = ts->config[MAX_CONTACTS_LOC] & 0x0f; The nibble can be 0..15, so a malfunctioning, malicious or counterfeit controller (or an attacker tampering with the I2C bus) can advertise up to 15 contacts. goodix_ts_read_input_report() then accepts a touch_num of up to 15 and the second goodix_i2c_read() writes ts->contact_size * (touch_num - 1) bytes past the one-contact header into point_data - up to 30 bytes (45 with the 9-byte report format) beyond the 92-byte buffer: a stack out-of-bounds write. Clamp max_touch_num to GOODIX_MAX_CONTACTS, the number of contacts point_data[] is sized for, when reading it from the configuration.
