NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek-devel package and not the kernel-uek-devel package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

gpio: davinci: Validate the obtained number of IRQs

Value of pdata->gpio_unbanked is taken from Device Tree. In case of broken DT due to any error this value can be any. Without this value validation there can be out of chips->irqs array boundaries access in davinci_gpio_probe().

Validate the obtained nirq value so that it won't exceed the maximum number of IRQs per bank.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
