From f84819ef8d66931ee3998fee3c4f03230f4cb6cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Iv=C3=A1n=20Ezequiel=20Rodriguez?= Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 10:06:28 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] Input: zero ff_effect before compat copy in input_ff_effect_from_user MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In the compat path input_ff_effect_from_user() aliases the caller's native struct ff_effect with the smaller struct ff_effect_compat and copies only the compat sized prefix: compat_effect = (struct ff_effect_compat *)effect; if (copy_from_user(compat_effect, buffer, sizeof(struct ff_effect_compat))) The tail of the native structure is never written. Callers pass an uninitialized on-stack object, for example evdev_do_ioctl() for EVIOCSFF, so those bytes keep their previous stack contents. input_ff_upload() then stores the full native structure in ff->effects[id], from where a uinput based force feedback daemon can read it back via UI_BEGIN_FF_UPLOAD, disclosing kernel stack memory to userspace. Zero the effect before the compat copy.
