[PATCH v2] Input: iforce - validate input packet lengths
From: Pengpeng Hou
Date: Mon Jul 20 2026 - 07:58:48 EST
iforce_process_packet() reads fixed fields from joystick, wheel and status
packets without first checking their lengths. In particular, the shared
hats-and-buttons helper unconditionally reads data[6]. The status tail is
a sequence of 16-bit effect addresses, but an incomplete final address is
also consumed. A successful zero-length USB URB additionally reads the
packet ID before the common parser is called.
Reject the zero-length USB transfer, require the seven-byte joystick and
wheel prefixes and the two-byte status prefix, and consume only complete
status-tail addresses.

Changes since v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260706092016.78176-1-pengpeng@xxxxxxxxxxx/
- cover the data[6] access in the shared hats-and-buttons helper
- cover zero-length USB completions and incomplete status-tail u16 values
- rebase onto v7.2-rc4
