Subject: [PATCH 2/4] virtio_input: validate device-reported multitouch slot count
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 16:22:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260715142337.22811-3-harimishal1@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260715142337.22811-1-harimishal1@gmail.com>
nslots is derived from the ABS_MT_SLOT maximum reported by the
virtio device. A device could report a bogus maximum (e.g. -1)
making nslots = 0, which input_mt_init_slots() does not reject;
it returns success without allocating any slot storage, silently
leaving the device registered as multitouch capable with no
backing state. Reject non-positive slot counts before calling
input_mt_init_slots().
