commit b6a37a93c9ac3900987c79b726d0bb3699d8db4e upstream. intel_dsm_platform_mux_info() tries to parse the ACPI package data from _DSM for the debug information, but it assumes the fixed format without checking what values are stored in the elements actually. When an unexpected value is returned from BIOS, it may lead to GPF or NULL dereference, as reported recently. Add the checks of the contents in the returned values and skip the values for invalid cases. v1->v2: Check the info contents before dereferencing, too BugLink: http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1184074 Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210402082317.871-1-tiwai@suse.de (cherry picked from commit 337d7a1621c7f02af867229990ac67c97da1b53a) Signed-off-by: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
