Subject: [PATCH] iio: proximity: hx9023s: validate firmware size
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 20:07:12 +0545 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710142212.52225-1-acharyalaxman8848@gmail.com> (raw)
hx9023s_send_cfg() copies the firmware into a counted flexible array and
then reads fixed offsets from the copied data before walking register/value
pairs starting at FW_DATA_OFFSET. A truncated firmware image can therefore
make the driver read past the copied buffer during probe-time configuration
loading.
Reject firmware images that cannot contain the fixed header, reject images
too large for the u16 fw_size field, and validate that the advertised
register count fits in the remaining payload.
Move release_firmware() to the callback so the firmware object is released
on all hx9023s_send_cfg() error paths.
Fixes: e9ed97be4fcc ("iio: proximity: hx9023s: Added firmware file parsing functionality")
