Title
ACPICA: Fix integer overflow in acpi_ex_opcode_3A_1T_1R() (mid_op)
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ACPICA: Fix integer overflow in acpi_ex_opcode_3A_1T_1R() (mid_op) Add overflow check for Index + Length to prevent integer overflow when calculating the truncation length. This prevents negative size parameter being passed to memcpy().

The table author sets those operands; no race.\nPR:N - acpi_bus_init() calls acpi_load_tables(), which runs module-level Mid() in acpi_ns_execute_table() with no capable() or uid check. A compromised DSDT/SSDT is enough; no Linux account, user namespace, or /sys/kernel/config/acpi/table write is required.\nUI:N - acpi_ns_execute_table() evaluates definition-block AML, including a module-level Mid(), automatically during acpi_load_tables() at boot. No mount, file-open, or other victim action is required at trigger time.\nS:U - The overflowing memcpy in acpi_ex_opcode_3A_1T_1R() corrupts the host kernel heap around the Mid() result object from ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED; it does not cross a KVM/Xen, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - After the wrap, memcpy() in acpi_ex_opcode_3A_1T_1R() reads the untruncated length (UINT64_MAX) bytes from operand[0]-\u003estring.pointer+index, whose object is only operand[0]-\u003estring.length (u32) bytes, an unbounded kernel heap over-read rather than a few-byte leak.\nI:H - On ACPI_TYPE_STRING, ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED(length+1) wraps to a 0-size allocation when length is UINT64_MAX, then memcpy writes that same untruncated length into it\u2014an out-of-bounds write/heap overflow exploitable for control-flow hijack.\nA:H - memcpy of the untruncated length into the wrapped 0-size STRING buffer in acpi_ex_opcode_3A_1T_1R() oopses or panics the kernel during acpi_ns_execute_table() or a later Mid() method evaluation."
