[PATCH v3] misc: fastrpc: validate overlap-derived invoke buffer ranges

From: Pengpeng Hou

Date: Tue Mar 24 2026 - 20:57:53 EST


fastrpc_get_args() derives rpra[i].buf.pv from the overlap offset that
was computed from user-controlled argument pointers and lengths. The
resulting destination pointer is later passed to copy_from_user() or
memcpy() without checking that the overlap-adjusted range still stays
inside the allocated invoke buffer.

Reject overlap-derived destinations that would point before the start of
the invoke buffer or that would extend past the end of the allocated
packet before storing rpra[i].buf.pv and before copying inline
arguments into the buffer. Static code analysis of the overlap handling
in fastrpc_get_args() identified this path.

Fixes: c68cfb718c8f ("misc: fastrpc: Add support for context Invoke method")

v3:
- separate tags from the free-flow text in the commit message
- rewrite the overlap bounds checks using explicit overflow-safe
start/end calculations
- post the new revision as a new thread as requested in review
