Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] drm/udl: reject short USB control transfers in udl_read_edid_block()
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 07:30:10 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924073012.2742968-2-benquike@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260924064434.2541959-2-benquike@gmail.com>

In udl_read_edid_block(), usb_control_msg() requests 2 bytes into
read_buff for each EDID byte, and read_buff[1] is stored into buf[i].
Currently the short-transfer check tests ret < 1 instead of ret < 2, so
if a short USB control transfer returns 1 byte, read_buff[1] is not
written by usb_control_msg() and retains the previous iteration's byte (or
uninitialized kmalloc(2) memory on the first iteration), which is then
copied into buf[i].

Change the check from ret < 1 to ret < 2 so any short USB control
transfer fails with -EIO.

Tested in QEMU against Linux 7.3.0-rc3 using dummy_hcd and raw-gadget
emulating a DisplayLink UDL USB device: on the unfixed kernel, when
usb_control_msg() returned 1 byte for an EDID read (short transfer),
udl_read_edid_block() accepted ret = 1 and stored stale read_buff[1]
data into the EDID buffer; whereas with this fix applied, ret < 2
correctly fails with -EIO and prevents EDID buffer corruption.

Changes in v3:
- Change (ret != 2) to (ret < 2) in udl_read_edid_block(), as requested
  by Thomas Zimmermann.

Changes in v2:
- Split out as patch 1/2 as requested by Jani Nikula.
- Added testing details in QEMU on short USB EDID control transfers.
