Subject: [PATCH] nfp: reject truncated hwinfo table
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 01:54:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908005437.11004-1-devnexen@gmail.com> (raw)
hwinfo_db_validate() only bounds db->size from above, so a firmware
table advertising size < sizeof(*db) + sizeof(u32) makes the following
"size -= sizeof(u32)" underflow and crc32_posix() read far out of
bounds. Reject such tables before the subtraction.
Fixes: 59a8474888e9 ("nfp: add hwinfo support")
Assisted-by: Claude Opus 5 (Anthropic)
