[PATCH] net: hinic: validate firmware image section bounds

From: Pengpeng Hou <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-06 09:35:21
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: huawei ethernet driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Cai Huoqing, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

The firmware update path copies each section from the image with an offset
and length supplied by the firmware header. The image validator only
checked the sum of section lengths and used fw_len + header_size to check
the file size, but it did not prove that each section offset and length
fits in the firmware payload.

Reject images with a truncated header, avoid the fw_len plus header-size
addition, validate each section type before it is used as a bit index, and
prove every section range with offset <= fw_len and len <= fw_len - offset.
