[PATCH] iio: proximity: hx9023s: validate firmware size
From: Laxman Acharya Padhya
Date: Fri Jul 10 2026 - 10:22:29 EST
hx9023s_send_cfg() copies the firmware into a counted flexible array and
then reads fixed offsets from the copied data before walking register/value
pairs starting at FW_DATA_OFFSET. A truncated firmware image can therefore
make the driver read past the copied buffer during probe-time configuration
loading.
Reject firmware images that cannot contain the fixed header, reject images
too large for the u16 fw_size field, and validate that the advertised
register count fits in the remaining payload.
Move release_firmware() to the callback so the firmware object is released
on all hx9023s_send_cfg() error paths.
Fixes: e9ed97be4fcc ("iio: proximity: hx9023s: Added firmware file parsing functionality")
