I'm thinking whether this is rather an issue in the kernel driver side. In skl_tplg_tlv_control_get(),
I think you are right, the buffer would overflow which would cause heap to go bad and free goes crashing
if (bc->params) { if (copy_to_user(data, &bc->param_id, sizeof(u32))) return -EFAULT; if (copy_to_user(data + 1, &size, sizeof(u32))) return -EFAULT; if (copy_to_user(data + 2, bc->params, size)) return -EFAULT; }
But here, size is the size of the whole container, not the size in the container. In the code above, you're copying size+8 bytes total and this breaks the boundary already.
Right, also I think we need to check for size vs size of parameters. We don't want to copy kernel memory to usermode if usermode gave a larger buffer
Let me test this, thanks for pointing
