Subject: [PATCH net] net: phy: air_en8811h: refuse a firmware blob that is not a multiple of 4
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 08:05:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902080525.2211446-1-f@lex.la> (raw)
The download loop streams the blob into the MCU as 32-bit words and
reads the last word past the end of a blob whose size is not a multiple
of four. The shipped blobs happen to be aligned, so the overread never
showed; a truncated or foreign file would carry up to three bytes of
whatever follows it into the MCU. Reject it before the first write
instead.
Fixes: 71e79430117d ("net: phy: air_en8811h: Add the Airoha EN8811H PHY driver")
Assisted-by: LLM
