[PATCH 6.12.y] HID: uhid: convert to hid_safe_input_report()
From: Carlos Llamas
Date: Thu Aug 27 2026 - 18:07:01 EST
commit 63a694c51bf120a37550890b8e7736b4888985e9 upstream.
Commit 0a3fe972a7cb ("HID: core: Mitigate potential OOB by removing
bogus memset()"), added a check in hid_report_raw_event() to reject
reports if the received data size is smaller than expected. This was
intended to prevent OOB errors by no longer allowing zeroing-out of
shorter reports due to the lack of buffer size information.
However, this leads to regressions in hid_report_raw_event(), where
shorter than expected reports are rejected, even though their buffers
are sufficiently large to be zero-padded.
To solve this issue, Benjamin introduced a safer alternative in commit
206342541fc8 ("HID: core: introduce hid_safe_input_report()"), which
forwards the buffer size and allows hid_report_raw_event() to safely
zero-pad the data.
Convert uhid to use hid_safe_input_report() and pass UHID_DATA_MAX as
the buffer size. This prevents the reported regressions [1], allowing
hid core to zero-pad the shorter reports safely as expected.
