Subject: [PATCH] HID: playstation: validate num_touch_reports in DualShock 4 reports
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 12:47:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260323124737.3223129-1-bsevens@google.com> (raw)
From: Benoît Sevens <bsevens@google.com>
The DualShock 4 HID driver fails to validate the num_touch_reports field
received from the device in both USB and Bluetooth input reports.
A malicious device could set this field to a value larger than the
allocated size of the touch_reports array (3 for USB, 4 for Bluetooth),
leading to an out-of-bounds read in dualshock4_parse_report().
This can result in kernel memory disclosure when processing malicious
HID reports.
Validate num_touch_reports against the array size for the respective
connection types before processing the touch data.
