Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: SOF: ipc3: bound firmware-supplied ext header size
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 00:23:53 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909212353.69599-1-stefanghetu9@gmail.com> (raw)
ext_hdr->hdr.size comes straight from firmware and is used unchecked
as a read length: too large overflows the PAGE_SIZE heap allocation
in ext_data, too small underflows the size_t subtraction (hdr.size -
sizeof(*ext_hdr)), producing a read length near SIZE_MAX.
Bound hdr.size to [sizeof(*ext_hdr), PAGE_SIZE] before using it.
