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.
