Subject: [PATCH] HID: ft260: validate report size in raw_event handler
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 11:35:27 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324173527.11321-1-sebasjosue84@gmail.com> (raw)
ft260_raw_event() casts the raw data buffer to a
ft260_i2c_input_report struct and accesses its fields without
validating the size parameter. Since __hid_input_report() invokes
the driver's raw_event callback before hid_report_raw_event()
performs its own report-size validation, a device sending a
truncated HID report can cause out-of-bounds heap reads in the
kernel.
In the I2C response path, xfer->length (data[1]) is used as the
length for a memcpy into dev->read_buf. While xfer->length is
checked against dev->read_len, there is no check that size is large
enough to actually contain xfer->length bytes of data starting at
offset 2. A malicious USB device could therefore cause an OOB read
from the kernel heap, with the result accessible from userspace via
the I2C read interface.
FT260 devices use 64-byte HID reports. Add a check at the top of
the handler to reject any report shorter than expected, and log a
warning to aid debugging.
