Subject: [PATCH] rust: auxiliary: validate DeviceId name length
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 23:32:46 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909033246.2779303-1-georgeandrout13@gmail.com> (raw)
`DeviceId::new()` copies `modname` and `name` into the fixed 40-byte
`auxiliary_device_id::name` array without checking that they fit. An
oversized name is caught by the array bounds check, but the error
reports an out-of-bounds index in the copy loop rather than the
constraint the caller violated.
Check the invariant explicitly instead, so the failure states the length
limit rather than an array index.
In a constant context exceeding the limit leads to a build error; at
runtime it panics, so add a `# Panics` section for it.
Fixes: ce735e73dd59 ("rust: auxiliary: add auxiliary device / driver abstractions")
