[ Upstream commit 9b04609b78 ]
This fixes the invalid pointer dereference in the drive_name function of
the floppy driver.
The native_format field of the struct floppy_drive_params is used as
floppy_type array index in the drive_name function. Thus, the field
should be checked the same way as the autodetect field.
To trigger the bug, one could use a value out of range and set the drive
parameters with the FDSETDRVPRM ioctl. Next, FDGETDRVTYP ioctl should
be used to call the drive_name. A floppy disk is not required to be
inserted.
CAP_SYS_ADMIN is required to call FDSETDRVPRM.
The patch adds the check for a value of the native_format field to be in
the '0 <= x < ARRAY_SIZE(floppy_type)' range of the floppy_type array
indices.
The bug was found by syzkaller.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
