From 7a5bb9964512c5313af19310c6a3002ec54f7336 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lin Ming Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2008 19:06:43 +0400 Subject: [PATCH] ACPICA: Fix to handle NULL package elements correctly Fixed problem where NULL package elements were not returned to the AcpiEvaluateObject interface correctly. Instead of returning a NULL ACPI_OBJECT package element, the element was simply ignored, potentially causing a buffer overflow and/or confusing the caller who expected a fixed number of elements. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10132 Signed-off-by: Lin Ming Signed-off-by: Bob Moore Signed-off-by: Alexey Starikovskiy Signed-off-by: Len Brown --- drivers/acpi/utilities/utobject.c | 5 ++--- include/acpi/actypes.h | 29 +++++++++++++++++------------ 2 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/acpi/utilities/utobject.c b/drivers/acpi/utilities/utobject.c index 1eccd3db876..cdb8ff5b92d 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/utilities/utobject.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/utilities/utobject.c @@ -470,9 +470,8 @@ acpi_ut_get_simple_object_size(union acpi_operand_object *internal_object, case ACPI_TYPE_PROCESSOR: case ACPI_TYPE_POWER: - /* - * No extra data for these types - */ + /* No extra data for these types */ + break; case ACPI_TYPE_LOCAL_REFERENCE: diff --git a/include/acpi/actypes.h b/include/acpi/actypes.h index 599657eac2d..75ec153338e 100644 --- a/include/acpi/actypes.h +++ b/include/acpi/actypes.h @@ -639,46 +639,51 @@ typedef u8 acpi_adr_space_type; /* * External ACPI object definition */ + +/* + * Note: Type == ACPI_TYPE_ANY (0) is used to indicate a NULL package element + * or an unresolved named reference. + */ union acpi_object { acpi_object_type type; /* See definition of acpi_ns_type for values */ struct { - acpi_object_type type; + acpi_object_type type; /* ACPI_TYPE_INTEGER */ acpi_integer value; /* The actual number */ } integer; struct { - acpi_object_type type; + acpi_object_type type; /* ACPI_TYPE_STRING */ u32 length; /* # of bytes in string, excluding trailing null */ char *pointer; /* points to the string value */ } string; struct { - acpi_object_type type; + acpi_object_type type; /* ACPI_TYPE_BUFFER */ u32 length; /* # of bytes in buffer */ u8 *pointer; /* points to the buffer */ } buffer; struct { - acpi_object_type type; - u32 fill1; - acpi_handle handle; /* object reference */ - } reference; - - struct { - acpi_object_type type; + acpi_object_type type; /* ACPI_TYPE_PACKAGE */ u32 count; /* # of elements in package */ union acpi_object *elements; /* Pointer to an array of ACPI_OBJECTs */ } package; struct { - acpi_object_type type; + acpi_object_type type; /* ACPI_TYPE_LOCAL_REFERENCE */ + acpi_object_type actual_type; /* Type associated with the Handle */ + acpi_handle handle; /* object reference */ + } reference; + + struct { + acpi_object_type type; /* ACPI_TYPE_PROCESSOR */ u32 proc_id; acpi_io_address pblk_address; u32 pblk_length; } processor; struct { - acpi_object_type type; + acpi_object_type type; /* ACPI_TYPE_POWER */ u32 system_level; u32 resource_order; } power_resource; -- 2.11.4.GIT
