Subject: [PATCH v2] fpga: microchip-spi: add bounds checks in mpf_ops_parse_header()
Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2026 09:37:52 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260402153752.3793055-1-sebasjosue84@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260402125446.3776153-3-sebasjosue84@gmail.com>
From: Sebastian Josue Alba Vives <sebasjosue84@gmail.com>
mpf_ops_parse_header() reads several fields from the bitstream file
and uses them as offsets and sizes without validating them against the
buffer size, leading to multiple out-of-bounds read vulnerabilities:
1. There is no check that count is large enough to read header_size
at MPF_HEADER_SIZE_OFFSET (24). Add a minimum count check.
2. When header_size (u8 from file) is 0, the expression
*(buf + header_size - 1) reads one byte before the buffer.
Return -EINVAL since retrying with a larger buffer cannot fix
a zero header_size.
3. In the block lookup loop, block_id_offset and block_start_offset
advance by MPF_LOOKUP_TABLE_RECORD_SIZE (9) each iteration with
blocks_num (u8) controlling the count. With a small buffer, these
offsets exceed count, causing OOB reads via get_unaligned_le32().
Return -EAGAIN since a larger buffer may resolve the issue.
4. components_size_start (from file) and component_size_byte_num
(derived from components_num, u16 from file) are used as offsets
into buf without validation, allowing arbitrary OOB reads.
Add bounds checks for all four cases.
