ACPI: bounds check IRQ to prevent memory corruption
acpi_penalize_isa_irq() should validate irq before using it to
index the acpi_irq_penalty[] table.
Here's the path I'm concerned about:
pnpacpi_parse_allocated_irqresource()
{
...
irq = acpi_register_gsi(gsi, triggering, polarity);
if (irq >= 0)
pcibios_penalize_isa_irq(irq, 1);
There's no guarantee that acpi_register_gsi() will return an IRQ
within the bounds of acpi_irq_penalty[].
I have not seen a failure I can attribute to this. However,
ACPI_MAX_IRQS is only 256, and I'm pretty sure ia64 can have
IRQs larger than that.
I think this should go in 2.6.27.
