[PATCH] Input: penmount: bound packet buffer indices in IRQ path
From: Pengpeng Hou
Date: Mon Mar 23 2026 - 08:17:32 EST
The IRQ handler stores each incoming byte into pm->data[] before the
packet parser gets a chance to reset pm->idx. If the incoming serial
stream never matches one of the expected packet headers, pm->idx can
advance past the fixed receive buffer and the next IRQ will write beyond
PM_MAX_LENGTH.
Reset stale indices before writing the next byte so malformed packet
streams cannot walk past the end of the local packet buffer.
