# DF-1835 - Source Verification

## Verdict: REPRODUCED (source-only confirmation)

**Finding**: sys/dev/powermng/alpm/alpm.c:606-615

**Mechanism**: alpm_bread writes *count=len (device-supplied, unbounded) at L615. Caller copyouts from uninitialized buffer → stack info leak. Variant of DF-1833.

**Hardware dependency**: Requires ALI SMBus controller + malicious peripheral.

**Fix**: Clamp returned len to 32.

## Verification method
Source-only confirmation. The cited code path was traced line-by-line in the
audited sys/ tree. The bug exists exactly as described. This is a HW-gated
driver finding — the vulnerable code path requires specific hardware (GPU,
controller, PHY, TPM, etc.) not present in the QEMU audit guest. Runtime
reproduction on this guest is not possible without the hardware.

## Fix validation
fix.diff authored and applied to guest source. All 40 fixes in this batch
compile cleanly in a single combined kernel build: `make -j6 nativekernel
KERNCONF=X86_64_GENERIC` → rc=0, zero -Werror violations.
