Subject: [PATCH] Input: xpad: validate Xbox One report lengths
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 16:34:24 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260715083424.25944-1-pengpeng@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)

xpadone_process_packet() receives a 64-byte USB buffer, but only
urb->actual_length belongs to the current report. The function still reads
fixed offsets for virtual-key, firmware, input, profile, and paddle layouts
without proving that the report reaches those offsets.

Ignore malformed short reports before consuming mandatory fields, and skip
optional profile or paddle fields when their layout-specific minimum length
is absent. This preserves processing of the validated common input prefix
while avoiding reads of bytes outside the current USB item.

Fixes: 1a48ff81b391 ("Input: xpad - add support for Xbox One controllers")
