Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Input: synaptics-rmi4 - bound the F3A keymap to the GPIO count rmi_f3a_initialize() takes the GPIO count from the device query register (f3a->gpio_count = buf & RMI_F3A_GPIO_COUNT, range 0..127). rmi_f3a_map_gpios() then allocates gpio_key_map with min(gpio_count, TRACKSTICK_RANGE_END) == at most 6 entries, but rmi_f3a_attention() iterates the full gpio_count and dereferences gpio_key_map[i], and input->keycodemax is set to the full gpio_count while input->keycode points at the 6-entry allocation.

A device that reports gpio_count > 6 therefore causes an out-of-bounds read of gpio_key_map[] on every attention interrupt, and out-of-bounds accesses through the input core's default keymap ioctls: EVIOCGKEYCODE reads past the buffer (leaking adjacent slab memory to user space) and EVIOCSKEYCODE writes a caller-controlled value past it, for any process able to open the evdev node, since input_default_getkeycode() and input_default_setkeycode() only bound the index against keycodemax.

The mapping loop is unchanged: it still assigns only the first min(gpio_count, TRACKSTICK_RANGE_END) entries; the remaining slots stay KEY_RESERVED (devm_kcalloc zero-fills) and are skipped when reporting. The `rmi_f3a_map_gpios()` function incorrectly allocates memory for the `gpio_key_map`, making it smaller than required.

Mitigation

Upgrade to a fixed release: kernel-0:6.12.0-211.50.1.el10_2, kernel-rt-0:4.18.0-553.158.1.rt7.499.el8_10, kernel-0:4.18.0-553.158.1.el8_10, kernel-0:5.14.0-687.42.1.el9_8, RHSA-2026:61887, RHSA-2026:59737. That is the remediation for this advisory.

The vendor advisory may list interim mitigations or workarounds not captured here. Review it before change work.
