fbdev: Fixing arbitrary kernel leak in case FBIOGETCMAP_SPARC in sbusfb_ioctl_helper().
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1775771 [ Upstream commit 250c6c49 ] Fixing arbitrary kernel leak in case FBIOGETCMAP_SPARC in sbusfb_ioctl_helper(). 'index' is defined as an int in sbusfb_ioctl_helper(). We retrieve this from the user: if (get_user(index, &c->index) || __get_user(count, &c->count) || __get_user(ured, &c->red) || __get_user(ugreen, &c->green) || __get_user(ublue, &c->blue)) return -EFAULT; and then we use 'index' in the following way: red = cmap->red[index + i] >> 8; green = cmap->green[index + i] >> 8; blue = cmap->blue[index + i] >> 8; This is a classic information leak vulnerability. 'index' should be an unsigned int, given its usage above. This patch is straight-forward; it changes 'index' to unsigned int in two switch-cases: FBIOGETCMAP_SPARC && FBIOPUTCMAP_SPARC. This patch fixes CVE-2018-6412.
