[PATCH] Input: iforce - validate packet lengths

From: Pengpeng Hou <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-06 09:20:20
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: input (keyboard, mouse, joystick, touchscreen) drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Dmitry Torokhov, Linus Torvalds

iforce_process_packet() decodes several packet formats from a
variable-length input buffer.

Add minimum length checks for joystick, wheel and status packets before
reading their fixed fields.
