Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] fpga: microchip-spi: fix OOB read in mpf_ops_parse_header()
Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2026 11:22:17 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260407172230.40775-3-sebasjosue84@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260407172230.40775-1-sebasjosue84@gmail.com>
mpf_ops_parse_header() reads header_size at MPF_HEADER_SIZE_OFFSET (24)
without first checking that count is large enough, leading to an
out-of-bounds read if the buffer is smaller than 25 bytes.
Additionally, when header_size is zero, the expression
*(buf + header_size - 1) reads one byte before the buffer start.
Since a zero header_size cannot be resolved by providing a larger
buffer, return -EINVAL instead of falling through.

Changes in v4:
- Reduce to two minimal fixes only: minimum count check before
reading header_size, and -EINVAL for zero header_size.
Drop redundant block loop checks — the pre-loop bounds extension
already ensures all block offsets are within count.
Suggested by Xu Yilun.
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.
