Denis Efremov 625a582640 floppy: fix out-of-bounds read in next_valid_format
[ Upstream commit 5635f897ed ]

This fixes a global out-of-bounds read access in the next_valid_format
function of the floppy driver.

The values from autodetect field of the struct floppy_drive_params are
used as indices for the floppy_type array in the next_valid_format
function 'floppy_type[DP->autodetect[probed_format]].sect'.

To trigger the bug, one could use a value out of range and set the drive
parameters with the FDSETDRVPRM ioctl.  A floppy disk is not required to
be inserted.

CAP_SYS_ADMIN is required to call FDSETDRVPRM.

The patch adds the check for values of the autodetect field to be in the
'0 <= x < ARRAY_SIZE(floppy_type)' range of the floppy_type array indices.

The bug was found by syzkaller.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
