Subject: [PATCH 1/6] thunderbolt: reject zero-length property entries in validator
Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 05:28:25 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260525092830.735472-2-michael.bommarito@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260525092830.735472-1-michael.bommarito@gmail.com>
tb_property_entry_valid() accepts entries with length == 0 for
DIRECTORY, DATA, and TEXT types. A zero-length TEXT entry passes
validation but causes an underflow in the null-termination logic:
property->value.text[property->length * 4 - 1] = '\0';
When property->length is 0 this writes to offset -1 relative to
the allocation.
Reject zero-length entries early in the validator since they have no
valid representation in the XDomain property protocol.
Fixes: cdae7c07e3e3 ("thunderbolt: Add support for XDomain properties")
