[PATCH] drm/panthor: validate firmware interface structure sizes
From: Osama Abdelkader
Date: Mon Jul 20 2026 - 08:23:12 EST
iface_fw_to_cpu_addr() only checks that the firmware-provided MCU virtual
address points inside the shared section. The returned pointer is later
used as a full firmware interface structure, so accepting an address near
the end of the shared section can still lead to out-of-bounds accesses.
Pass the expected object size to iface_fw_to_cpu_addr() and reject ranges
that do not fit entirely in the shared section.
Fixes: 2718d91816ee ("drm/panthor: Add the FW logical block")
