CVE-2026-98848
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rtc: ac100: Assign .num before accessing .hws
Commit f316cdff8d67 ('clk: Annotate struct clk_hw_onecell_data with
__counted_by') annotated the hws member of 'struct clk_hw_onecell_data'
with __counted_by, which informs the bounds sanitizer (UBSAN_BOUNDS)
about the number of elements in .hws[], so that it can warn when .hws[]
is accessed out of bounds. As noted in that change, the __counted_by
member must be initialized with the number of elements before the first
array access happens, otherwise there will be a warning from each access
prior to the initialization because the number of elements is zero.
This occurs in ac100_rtc_register_clks() due to .num being assigned only
after every clkout clock has been stored in .hws[]. With
CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and a compiler that implements __counted_by (GCC
15.1+ or Clang 20.1+), this triggers an array-index-out-of-bounds report
during probe, and with CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP the first store traps.
Initialize .num with AC100_CLKOUT_NUM, the number of elements .hws[] was
allocated with, right after the allocation. That is the value the loop
counter ends up at on the success path anyway, so the provider's
behaviour is unchanged.
