[PATCH v2 0/2] firewire: Fix out-of-bounds access in CSR iterator

From: Sreeraj S Kurup

Date: Tue Nov 03 2026 - 12:20:48 EST


Hi Takashi,

This series fixes an out-of-bounds read in fw_csr_iterator_next() and
adds KUnit tests for the CSR iterator.

The first patch fixes the iterator by checking its position before
dereferencing the current entry.

The second patch adds a separate KUnit test suite covering:

- Iteration over valid entries.
- Calling the iterator after reaching the end.
- Iteration over an empty directory.

It also adds a separate Kconfig option for the iterator tests.

Testing:

- Ran the FireWire KUnit tests using:
python3 tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run
--kunitconfig=drivers/firewire/.kunitconfig

- All tests passed.

- Results:
[14:47:14] ======== firewire-config-rom-iterator (3 subtests) =========
[14:47:14] [PASSED] test_csr_iterator_with_valid_entries
[14:47:14] [PASSED] test_csr_iterator_at_end
[14:47:14] [PASSED] test_csr_iterator_empty_directory
[14:47:14] ========== [PASSED] firewire-config-rom-iterator ===========

Please review the patches.

Regards,
Sreeraj
