Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.

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.
