Subject: [PATCH 1/1] HID: core: Fix OOB read in hid_get_report for numbered reports
Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2026 11:26:56 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260616112700.1990813-1-lee@kernel.org> (raw)

When a caller passes a size of 0 to hid_report_raw_event() for a
numbered report, the function originally called hid_get_report() before
performing any size validation.

Inside hid_get_report(), if the report is numbered (report_enum->numbered
is true), it unconditionally dereferences data[0] to extract the report ID.
With a size of 0, this results in an out-of-bounds read or kernel panic.

Fix this by moving the numbered report size validation check before the
call to hid_get_report(), ensuring that size is at least 1 before
dereferencing the data pointer.

Fixes: 2c85c61d1332 ("HID: pass the buffer size to hid_report_raw_event")
