Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: speakup: keyhelp: guard letter_offsets possible out-of-range indexing help_init() builds letter_offsets[] by using the first byte of each function name as an index via `(start & 31) - 1`. If function_names are overridden from sysfs (root) with a name starting outside [a–z], the index underflows or exceeds the array, leading to OOB write. Function names can be overridden with the following commands as root: modprobe speakup_soft echo "0 _bad" > /sys/accessibility/speakup/i18n/function_names # then press Insert+2 on /dev/tty This fix checks the first letter in help_init(), and if it is not in the [a–z] range the function returns an error to the caller. Eventually this error is propagated to drivers/accessibility/speakup/main.c:2217, which causes a bleep sound.
