Subject: [PATCH v5 3/3] fpga: microchip-spi: fix zero header_size OOB read in mpf_ops_parse_header()
Date: Mon, 4 May 2026 06:13:32 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260504121332.1053563-3-sebasjosue84@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260504121332.1053563-1-sebasjosue84@gmail.com>
mpf_ops_parse_header() reads header_size from the bitstream at
MPF_HEADER_SIZE_OFFSET (24). When header_size is zero, the expression
*(buf + header_size - 1) reads one byte before the buffer start.
Since initial_header_size is set to 71 in mpf_ops, the fpga-mgr core
guarantees the buffer is always large enough to reach MPF_HEADER_SIZE_OFFSET.
The only real gap is the zero header_size case, which cannot be resolved
by providing a larger buffer, so return -EINVAL.

Changes in v5:
- Drop the count < MPF_HEADER_SIZE_OFFSET + 1 check. Since
initial_header_size = 71 is set in mpf_ops, the fpga-mgr core
already guarantees the buffer covers MPF_HEADER_SIZE_OFFSET.
Only the zero header_size case remains as a genuine bug.
Suggested by Xu Yilun.
Changes in v4:
- Reduce to two minimal fixes: minimum count check and -EINVAL for
zero header_size (superseded by v5).
Changes in v3:
- Add overflow check for 32-bit in component size loop.
Changes in v2:
- Return -EINVAL for header_size == 0, -EAGAIN in block loop,
add count check before MPF_HEADER_SIZE_OFFSET read.
