Subject: [PATCH] can: ems_usb: ems_usb_read_bulk_callback(): check the proper length of a message
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2026 17:51:17 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026022316-answering-strainer-a5db@gregkh> (raw)

When looking at the data in a USB urb, the actual_length is the size of
the buffer passed to the driver, not the transfer_buffer_length which is
set by the driver as the max size of the buffer.

When parsing the messages in ems_usb_read_bulk_callback() properly check
the size both at the beginning of parsing the message to make sure it is
big enough for the expected structure, and at the end of the message to
make sure we don't overflow past the end of the buffer for the next
message.
