Subject: [RFC v3 2/2] HID: core: Check to ensure report responses match the request
Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2026 14:59:30 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260309145942.1496072-2-lee@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260309145942.1496072-1-lee@kernel.org>
It is possible for a malicious (or clumsy) device to respond to a
specific report's feature request using a completely different report
ID. This can cause confusion in the HID core resulting in nasty
side-effects such as OOB writes.
Add a check to ensure that the report ID in the response, matches the
one that was requested.
Signed-off-by: Lee Jones <lee@kernel.org>

v2 -> v3: Cover more bases by moving the check up a layer from MT to HID Core
RFC query: Is this always okay?
Should the report number always match the request?
Are there legitimate times where the two would differ?
