[PATCH 1/5] scsi: ufs: core: Validate string descriptors
From: liqiang
Date: Thu Jul 16 2026 - 02:22:14 EST
From: Li Qiang <liqiang01@xxxxxxxxxx>
The string descriptor length includes a two-byte header while the
UTF-16 payload starts after it. utf16s_to_utf8s() expects a count
of UTF-16 code units, not bytes. Passing the payload byte count can
make it read beyond the descriptor buffer.
Validate that the payload has an even byte count, pass a code-unit
count to the converter, and allocate sufficient UTF-8 output space.
The raw string buffer starts after the descriptor header but its size
is bLength. Copying bLength bytes from that pointer can read beyond
the response buffer.
Allocate a zeroed bLength-sized buffer and copy only the UTF-16
payload. This preserves the raw buffer size consumed by the RPMB
device-ID ABI while avoiding the overread.
Fixes: 4b828fe156a6 ("scsi: ufs: revamp string descriptor reading")
Fixes: d794b499f948 ("scsi: ufs: core: fix incorrect buffer duplication in ufshcd_read_string_desc()")
