Subject: [PATCH 09/10] HID: steam: Reject short reads
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 15:21:42 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702222145.1863104-9-vi@endrift.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260702222145.1863104-1-vi@endrift.com>
Steam Controller FEATURE reports encode the size of the message in the
message itself. Previously we were trusting that the size reported matched
the size we actually read, leading to a potential issue with short reads.
Instead, we should actually verify the length of the read.
Fixes: c164d6abf384 ("HID: add driver for Valve Steam Controller")
Reported-by: syzbot+75f3f9bff8c510602d36@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=75f3f9bff8c510602d36
