In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
power: supply: core: Fix boundary conditions in interpolation
The functions power_supply_temp2resist_simple and power_supply_ocv2cap_simple
handle boundary conditions incorrectly.
The change was introduced in a4585ba2050f460f749bbaf2b67bd56c41e30283
("power: supply: core: Use library interpolation").
There are two issues: First, the lines "high = i - 1" and "high = i" in ocv2cap
have the wrong order compared to temp2resist. As a consequence, ocv2cap
sets high=-1 if ocv>table[0].ocv, which causes an out-of-bounds read.
Second, the logic of temp2resist is also not correct.
Consider the case table[] = {{20, 100}, {10, 80}, {0, 60}}.
For temp=5, we expect a resistance of 70% by interpolation.
However, temp2resist sets high=low=2 and returns 60.
