Short explanation
The rtc: ac100 driver in the Linux kernel causes bounds checking issues because the .num field is not assigned before accessing the .hws array.
When used with specific compiler versions and kernel configurations, this issue triggers array index out of bounds reports or traps during the probe phase.
What should be done?
- Follow vendor advisories
Chain of evidence and sources
Linux çekirdeği rtc: ac100 sürücüsünde .num alanı, .hws dizisine erişilmeden önce atanmaktadır.
Yama durumu resmî kaynaklarda UNKNOWN olarak değerlendirilmektedir.
Show the technical text from the sources
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rtc: ac100: Assign .num before accessing .hws Commit f316cdff8d67 ("clk: Annotate struct clk_hw_onecell_data with __counted_by") annotated the hws member of 'struct clk_hw_onecell_data' with __counted_by, which informs the bounds sanitizer (UBSAN_BOUNDS) about the number of elements in .hws[], so that it can warn when .hws[] is accessed out of bounds. As noted in that change, the __counted_by member must be initialized with the number of elements before the first array access happens, otherwise there will be a warning from each access prior to the initialization because the number of elements is zero. This occurs in ac100_rtc_register_clks() due to .num being assigned only after every clkout clock has been stored in .hws[]. With CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and a compiler that implements __counted_by (GCC 15.1+ or Clang 20.1+), this triggers an array-index-out-of-bounds report during probe, and with CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP the first store traps. Initialize .num with AC100_CLKOUT_NUM, the number of elements .hws[] was allocated with, right after the allocation. That is the value the loop counter ends up at on the success path anyway, so the provider's behaviour is unchanged.
