Subject: [PATCH v3 09/10] HID: steam: Reject short reads
Date: Thu,  9 Jul 2026 19:00:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710020048.2337655-10-vi@endrift.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710020048.2337655-1-vi@endrift.com>

Steam Controller FEATURE reports encode the size of the message in the
message itself. Previously we were trusting that the size reported matched
the size we actually read, leading to a potential issue with short reads.
Instead, we should actually verify the length of the read.

Fixes: c164d6abf384 ("HID: add driver for Valve Steam Controller")
Reported-by: syzbot+75f3f9bff8c510602d36@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=75f3f9bff8c510602d36
