Summary
iio: Fix the sorting functionality in iio_gts_build_avail_time_table
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iio: Fix the sorting functionality in iiogtsbuildavailtime_table

The sorting in iiogtsbuildavailtime_table is not working as intended. It could result in an out-of-bounds access when the time is zero.

Here are more details:

  1. When the gts->itimetable[i].timeus is zero, e.g., the time sequence is 3, 0, 1, the inner for-loop will not terminate and do out-of-bound writes. This is because once times[j] > new, the value new will be added in the current position and the times[j] will be moved to j+1 position, which makes the if-condition always hold. Meanwhile, idx will be added one, making the loop keep running without termination and out-of-bound write.
  2. If none of the gts->itimetable[i].timeus is zero, the elements will just be copied without being sorted as described in the comment "Sort times from all tables to one and remove duplicates".
