[PATCH] HID: vivaldi: Validate Report ID and length in feature mapping

[PATCH] HID: vivaldi: Validate Report ID and length in feature mapping

[Shashikirana H K via B4 Relay]

From: Shashikirana H K <shashikiranah@chromium.org>

vivaldi_feature_mapping() currently passes the descriptor-declared
report_len as the received data size to hid_report_raw_event() instead
of the actual number of bytes returned by hid_hw_raw_request(). It also
does not verify that the returned Report ID matches the requested
report->id, or handle a zero-byte return before decrementing the length
for unnumbered reports.

Validate that hid_hw_raw_request() returns at least one byte and that
the returned Report ID matches report->id, and pass the actual received
byte count (ret) to hid_report_raw_event().

I do not think checking whether report is numbered is needed. While
transports handle numbered and non-numbered reports differently here I
believe we always have report number (0 for unnumbered) in first byte.

Also, shouldn't this check be in hid core if it is needed?

Devices typically do not return short reports. Could you please tell me
what prompted this change?

Thanks.

Hi Dmitry,

Thank you for reviewing the patch!

This came up while testing with synthetic/uhid devices that return
malformed GET_REPORT responses (either fewer bytes than report_len or a
different Report ID in report_data[0] than requested). When that happens,
vivaldi_feature_mapping() still passes the buffer to hid_report_raw_event(),
which then looks up a different report via data[0] or processes unreceived
bytes from the buffer.

Since legitimate Vivaldi keyboards always return the full feature report,
rejecting short reads outright with `if (ret != report_len)` (similar to
hammer_get_folded_state() in hid-google-hammer.c) would be even cleaner
than passing `ret` to hid_report_raw_event().

Agreed on both points:
1. Dropping `report->id &&` and simply checking `report_data[0] != report->id`
   (like mt_get_feature() in hid-multitouch.c) works for both numbered and
   unnumbered reports since transports place 0 in byte 0 for unnumbered
   reports.
2. Checking `buf[0] != reportnum` on HID_REQ_GET_REPORT directly in hid-core
   (e.g. in __hid_hw_raw_request()) would protect all HID drivers at once.

Jiri, Benjamin, Dmitry -- would you prefer a v2 that checks
`ret != report_len` and `report_data[0] != report->id` in
vivaldi_feature_mapping(), or moving the `buf[0] != reportnum` check for
HID_REQ_GET_REPORT into hid-core?

Thanks,
Shashikirana
