Subject: [PATCH] media: ttusb-dec: validate command response length
Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2026 12:38:44 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260816070844.252438-1-georgeemmanuelthomas@gmail.com> (raw)

ttusb_dec_send_command() uses a length supplied by the USB device to
copy command response data without validating it against the amount of
data actually received. A malformed device can therefore cause an
out-of-bounds read from the response buffer.

The helper also does not know the size of the caller-provided response
buffer. This can cause an out-of-bounds write when the device reports a
response larger than the destination buffer.

Pass the destination buffer size to ttusb_dec_send_command() and reject
responses whose payload exceeds either the received data or the
destination buffer.
