[PATCH] Input: atmel_mxt_ts - validate firmware frame bounds

From: Pengpeng Hou <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-06 09:11:52
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: atmel maxtouch driver, input (keyboard, mouse, joystick, touchscreen) drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Nick Dyer, Dmitry Torokhov, Linus Torvalds

From: Pengpeng <redacted>

mxt_flash_fw() walks a length-prefixed firmware image. The loop only
checks that the cursor is below fw->size before reading the two-byte
frame length and passing the declared frame to the bootloader write path.

Check that the length field and the complete frame, including CRC bytes,
fit in the remaining firmware image before reading or writing the frame.
