Subject: [PATCH 2/2] HID: multitouch: Check to ensure report responses match the request
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2026 16:30:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260227163031.1166560-2-lee@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260227163031.1166560-1-lee@kernel.org>

It is possible for a malicious (or clumsy) device to respond to a
specific report's feature request using a completely different report
ID.  This can cause confusion in the HID core resulting in nasty
side-effects such as OOB writes.

Add a check to ensure that the report ID in the response, matches the
one that was requested.  If it doesn't, omit reporting the raw event and
return early.
