[PATCH 2/3] media: stv090x: bound DiSEqC reply length to msg[] size

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Date: Thu Apr 09 2026 - 09:54:08 EST


The FIFO_BYTENBR_FIELD register field is 4 bits wide, giving a length
of 0..15, but reply->msg is __u8[4] in struct dvb_diseqc_slave_reply.
A faulty or malicious DiSEqC slave (or i2c bus glitch) reporting more
than 4 bytes will the array and clobber the stack.

The stb0899, tda10071, and s5h1420 drivers all properly bound the FIFO
count against sizeof(reply->msg) before the read loop, so do the same
thing in this driver.
