[PATCH v3 0/2] firewire: core: validate descriptor and sub-block lengths in fw_core_add_descriptor()

[Sreeraj S Kurup <sreekuttan2156239@gmail.com>]

This two-patch series addresses potential out-of-bounds memory
accesses when parsing Config ROM descriptors in
fw_core_add_descriptor().

Patch 1 adds overall length validation using the in_range() macro
to ensure descriptors fit within standard IEEE 1394 Config ROM
limits (256 quadlets).

Patch 2 validates individual sub-block header lengths during
iteration to prevent reading past allocated buffer boundaries on
malformed inputs.

v2 -> v3:
 - Split original single patch into two distinct commits for cleaner
   review as requested by Takashi Sakamoto.
 - Simplified overall length check using the in_range() macro.

Sreeraj S Kurup (2):
  firewire: core: validate overall descriptor length in
    fw_core_add_descriptor()
  firewire: core: validate sub-block lengths in fw_core_add_descriptor()
