Subject: [PATCH] media: v4l2-isp: reject zero-sized parameter blocks
Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2026 20:38:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260815193839.141406-1-devnexen@gmail.com> (raw)
v4l2_isp_params_validate_buffer() advances by block->size but never
bounds it from below. A block with size 0 passes both the
block->size > buffer_size test and the comparison against info->size
whenever the driver's type_info[] entry is an uninitialised hole, so
the walk makes no forward progress and loops forever.
Drivers call this from vb2 .buf_prepare, so VIDIOC_QBUF on the
parameters video device hangs the calling task with the queue mutex
held. rppx1 has such a hole today; fix the core so the walk terminates
for any driver.
Require every block to be at least as large as its header. Blocks
carrying only a header to disable a block are exactly that size and
still pass.
