[PATCH 1/4] HID: pass the buffer size to hid_report_raw_event

Benjamin Tissoires
2026-04-15T09:38:53Z

commit 0a3fe972a7cb ("HID: core: Mitigate potential OOB by removing
bogus memset()") enforced the provided data to be at least the size of
the declared buffer in the report descriptor to prevent a buffer
overflow. However, we can try to be smarter by providing both the buffer
size and the data size, meaning that hid_report_raw_event() can make
better decision whether we should plaining reject the buffer (buffer
overflow attempt) or if we can safely memset it to 0 and pass it to the
rest of the stack.

Fixes: 0a3fe972a7cb ("HID: core: Mitigate potential OOB by removing bogus memset()")
