[PATCH] gpib: lpvo_usb_gpib: fix heap buffer overflow in lpvo_do_write()
From: Aditya
Date: Wed May 13 2026 - 19:22:12 EST
The memcpy in lpvo_do_write() uses the original unbounded 'count' parameter instead of the capped 'writesize', causing a heap buffer overflow when a user writes more than MAX_TRANSFER (3584 bytes) to /dev/lpvo_raw%d.
Fix by using 'writesize' which is already capped to MAX_TRANSFER.
