[PATCH v2] Bluetooth: HIDP: fix missing length checks in hidp_input_report()

From: Muhammad Bilal

Date: Wed May 20 2026 - 19:26:39 EST


hidp_input_report() reads keyboard and mouse payload data from an skb
without first verifying that skb->len contains enough data.

hidp_recv_intr_frame() pulls the 1-byte HIDP header before dispatching
to hidp_input_report(). If a paired device sends a truncated packet,
the handler reads beyond the valid skb data, resulting in an
out-of-bounds read of skb data. The OOB bytes may be interpreted as
phantom key presses or spurious mouse movement.

Add a check that skb->len is non-zero before the type switch, and
per-report-type minimum length checks before accessing the payload.
