[PATCH] hwmon: (gigabyte_waterforce) reject short input reports
From: Jiale Yao
Date: Thu Sep 24 2026 - 11:17:43 EST
The HID driver raw_event callback runs before HID core validates the
received report length. waterforce_raw_event() reads the command bytes
and then accesses fixed offsets for firmware or status data without any
length checks. A truncated report can therefore cause out-of-bounds reads
and update hwmon state with data beyond the received report.
Require both command bytes before identifying a report, then check the
minimum length needed by the firmware and status paths before accessing
their payloads. Commit 47669bec44fe ("HID: asus: refactor the two
workqueues and init sequence") added equivalent raw-event length
validation to hid-asus.
Fixes: 42ac68e3d4ba ("hwmon: Add driver for Gigabyte AORUS Waterforce AIO coolers")
