Subject: [PATCH 3/3] media: stv0900: bound DiSEqC reply length to msg[] size
Date: Thu,  9 Apr 2026 15:49:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026040944-postwar-sway-810f@gregkh> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026040943-finishing-daredevil-d6e0@gregkh>

The FIFO_BYTENBR field is 4 bits (mask 0x0f), giving a length of 0..15
but reply->msg is __u8[4] in struct dvb_diseqc_slave_reply.  A faulty or
malicious device reporting more than 4 bytes will the array and clobber
the stack.

The stb0899, tda10071, and s5h1420 drivers all properly bound the FIFO
count against sizeof(reply->msg) before the read loop, so do the same
thing in this driver.
