[PATCH v3 09/10] HID: steam: Reject short reads
From: Vicki Pfau <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-10 02:02:10

Steam Controller FEATURE reports encode the size of the message in the
message itself. Previously we were trusting that the size reported matched
the size we actually read, leading to a potential issue with short reads.
Instead, we should actually verify the length of the read.
Fixes: c164d6abf384 ("HID: add driver for Valve Steam Controller")
Reported-by: syzbot+75f3f9bff8c510602d36@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=75f3f9bff8c510602d36
