Subject: [PATCH] greybus: operation: fix out-of-bounds write in message allocation
Date: Tue,  1 Sep 2026 23:30:16 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902033017.40290-1-adrianox@gmail.com> (raw)

The incoming message size from the device header (header.size) is
trusted without checking that it is at least the size of the message
header itself, but a value smaller than sizeof(struct gb_operation_msg_hdr)
underflows request_size in gb_operation_create_incoming(), wraps around
in gb_operation_message_alloc(), and results in a tiny buffer that is
then written past its end in gb_operation_message_init().

Reject undersized messages before parsing the message header.

Fixes: d37b1db13f8b ("greybus: refactor gb_connection_recv()")
