The hid-rmi driver sizes its writeReport/readReport buffer purely from
the report descriptor supplied by the device, with no minimum bound:
data->input_report_size = hid_report_len(input_report);
data->output_report_size = hid_report_len(output_report);
alloc_size = data->output_report_size + data->input_report_size;
data->writeReport = devm_kzalloc(&hdev->dev, alloc_size, GFP_KERNEL);
but then writes fixed offsets into that buffer without validating the
sizes. A device declaring a 1-byte output report (0x09) and a 1-byte
input report (0x0c) makes hid_report_len() return 2 for each, so
alloc_size is 4, and rmi_set_page() -- reached unconditionally at probe
time through rmi_input_configured() -- writes writeReport[4], one byte
past the allocation. rmi_hid_read_block() writes writeReport[0..5] in
the same way, and rmi_hid_write_block() copies an unbounded len to
&writeReport[4].
The read path has the mirror image of the problem: the copy length
comes from readReport[1], which is filled in from the device's response
and can be up to 255, and the copy starts at &readReport[2] without any
regard for input_report_size, so it runs past the allocation and into
adjacent slab objects. Those bytes become the register values the RMI
core acts on; they are printed to the kernel log as the product id by
rmi_f01_probe(), and they are sent back to the device as the interrupt
mask by rmi_driver_set_irq_bits(), so an undersized report descriptor
leaks heap contents both to userspace and to the device itself.
Reject reports that are too small at probe time, where the driver needs
6 output bytes for the write reports it builds and 3 input bytes for the
read handshake, and clamp the write and the read copy to the report
sizes the device declared. A write longer than the output report was
already overrunning the buffer, so rejecting it cannot regress a device
that used to work.
Verified on v6.12.104, whose hid-rmi.c is identical to mainline here,
with a UHID reproducer and with an emulated USB device (raw-gadget): a
breakpoint on rmi_set_page() shows the store to writeReport[4] executing
with alloc_size == 4, and after the change probe stops with "rmi reports
too small (out=2 in=2)". With a larger descriptor the read path returns
kernel heap bytes, observed both in the product id printed by
rmi_f01_probe() and in the interrupt mask written back to the emulated
device.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:
Pre-existing issues:
- [High] Missing report field count validation before access.
- [High] Use-After-Free of `data->reset_work` on `probe` error path.
- [High] Data Race and missed wakeups in `rmi_hid_read_block`.

HID: rmi: fix OOB access with undersized RMI reports
This patch adds minimum bound checks for the read/write report buffers
in hid-rmi.c to prevent out-of-bounds access. It rejects reports that
are too small at probe time.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does this read path have a data
race and missed wakeups?
The data->readReport buffer is read here by process context, but it appears to
be written concurrently from interrupt context without synchronization:
drivers/hid/hid-rmi.c:rmi_read_data_event() {
...
memcpy(hdata->readReport, data, min((u32)size, hdata->input_report_size));
set_bit(RMI_READ_DATA_PENDING, &hdata->flags);
}
If the device streams multiple input reports consecutively, can the softirq
overwrite data->readReport while it is being copied in rmi_hid_read_block()?
Furthermore, since clear_bit(RMI_READ_DATA_PENDING) runs after the copy,
could it erroneously clear the flag for a new chunk if the softirq sets it
just before clear_bit executes, causing the process context to wait and
timeout?

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does the probe error path contain a
use-after-free of data->reset_work?
Down at the start label, the driver calls hid_hw_start():
start:
ret = hid_hw_start(hdev, HID_CONNECT_DEFAULT);
if (ret) {
hid_err(hdev, "hw start failed\n");
return ret;
}
During hid_hw_start(), the core allows incoming reports. If a subsequent step
fails (e.g., rmi_set_mode()), hid_hw_start() returns an error.
If incoming reports have already triggered rmi_event() and scheduled
data->reset_work, returning this error will cause devres to free the data
structure. Could the workqueue then execute rmi_reset_work() on freed memory
since the pending work is not cancelled before returning?
[Severity: High]
Additionally, there is another pre-existing issue in rmi_report(). Does it
access the field array without verifying the report field count?
drivers/hid/hid-rmi.c:rmi_report() {
...
struct hid_field *field = report->field[0];
...
}
The code accesses report->field[0] by index. If a malicious or buggy device
provides a report descriptor with no fields (making report->maxfield 0),
would this lead to an out-of-bounds access?

Superseded by v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-input/00a489f38b240624dcb5a4bae36a53fcba9cfb47.1787549195.git.98lawweijie@gmail.com/
v1's commit message claims rmi_set_page() writes one byte past the
allocation. That is wrong on any kernel since v6.1 -- check_dr_size()
rounds the devres allocation up to the whole kmalloc bucket, so
devm_kzalloc(4) is a 64-byte kmalloc and that store is in bounds. v2
corrects the reasoning and adds one more fix to the same loop.
