[PATCH] HID: hid-goodix-spi: validate report size to prevent stack buffer overflow

From: Tianchu Chen

Date: Fri May 29 2026 - 09:48:38 EST


From: Tianchu Chen <flynnnchen@xxxxxxxxxxx>

goodix_hid_set_raw_report() builds a protocol frame in a 128-byte stack
buffer (tmp_buf), writing an 11-12 byte header followed by the
caller-supplied report data. The HID core caps report size at
HID_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE (16384) by default, while the driver does not set
hid_ll_driver.max_buffer_size and performs no bounds checking before
copying the payload:

memcpy(tmp_buf + tx_len, buf, len);

A hidraw SET_REPORT ioctl with a report larger than ~116 bytes
overflows the stack buffer.

Add a size check after constructing the header, rejecting reports that
would exceed the buffer capacity.
