That slot number is only\nbounded by td->maxcontacts, which is taken from the device's\nContactCountMaximum feature report and can be up to 255, not by\nBITS_PER_LONG.\n\nAs a result, a multitouch device that advertises a large contact count\nmakes set_bit()/clear_bit() operate past the mt_io_flags word and\ncorrupt the adjacent members of struct mt_device. The sticky-fingers\nrelease timer is the easiest way to reach this. mt_release_contacts()\nruns\n\n\tfor (i = 0; i < mt->num_slots; i++)\n\t\tclear_bit(i, &td->mt_io_flags);\n\nwith num_slots == maxcontacts. For maxcontacts around 250 the loop\nclears the bits that overlap td->applications.next, zeroing that list\nhead, and the list_for_each_entry() that immediately follows then\ndereferences NULL. The kernel panics from timer (softirq) context. On a\nKASAN build this shows up as a general protection fault in\nmt_release_contacts() with a null-ptr-deref at offset 0x58, which is\noffsetof(struct mt_application, num_received).\n\nThe state is reachable from an untrusted USB or Bluetooth HID\nmultitouch device; no local privileges are required.\n\nStore the per-slot active state in a separately allocated bitmap sized\nfor maxcontacts, the same pattern already used for pending_palm_slots,\nand keep only MT_IO_FLAGS_RUNNING in mt_io_flags. The two\n\"mt_io_flags & MT_IO_SLOTS_MASK\" arming checks become\nbitmap_empty(td->active_slots, td->maxcontacts).\n\nMove MT_IO_FLAGS_RUNNING back to bit 0. It was bumped to bit 32 by the\nsame commit to leave the low byte for the slot bits; with the slot bits\ngone it fits in bit 0 again, which also keeps it within the unsigned\nlong on 32-bit." } ],
