Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

comedi: pcl726: Prevent invalid irq number

The reproducer passed in an irq number(0x80008000) that was too large,
which triggered the oob.

Added an interrupt number check to prevent users from passing in an irq
number that was too large.

If it->options[1] is 31, then 1 << it->options[1] is still invalid
because it shifts a 1-bit into the sign bit (which is UB in C).
Possible solutions include reducing the upper bound on the
it->options[1] value to 30 or lower, or using 1U << it->options[1].

The old code would just not attempt to request the IRQ if the
options[1] value were invalid. And it would still configure the
device without interrupts even if the call to request_irq returned an
error. So it would be better to combine this test with the test below.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
