Subject: [PATCH net 9/9] ethtool: cmis: validate fw->size against start_cmd_payload_size
Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 16:13:12 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260522231312.1710836-10-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260522231312.1710836-1-kuba@kernel.org>
cmis_fw_update_start_download() copies start_cmd_payload_size bytes
from the firmware blob into the CDB LPL vendor_data[] payload without
validating that the FW has enough data.
Since the start_cmd_payload_size can only be ~120B an image too short
is most likely corrupted, so reject it.
Fixes: c4f78134d45c ("ethtool: cmis_fw_update: add a layer for supporting firmware update using CDB")
