Subject: [PATCH] crypto: deflate - fix decompression window size
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 18:08:58 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324180905.120703-1-giovanni.cabiddu@intel.com> (raw)
deflate_decompress() initializes the inflate stream with windowBits set
to -DEFLATE_DEF_WINBITS (11 bits, 2KB window). Valid raw DEFLATE streams
allow window sizes up to MAX_WBITS (15 bits, 32KB). Using a smaller
window than the one used during compression causes decompression to fail
for externally generated data. This might occur if data is compressed
with a compressor that is not deflate-generic (i.e. this
implementation).
Use -MAX_WBITS when calling zlib_inflateInit2() to accept all valid raw
DEFLATE streams. The inflate workspace allocated in deflate_alloc_stream()
is already sized using zlib_inflate_workspacesize(), which accounts for
the maximum window size, so no allocation change is needed.
