CVE-2026-31747

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

comedi: me4000: Fix potential overrun of firmware buffer

me4000_xilinx_download() loads the firmware that was requested by request_firmware(). It is possible for it to overrun the source buffer because it blindly trusts the file format. It reads a data stream length from the first 4 bytes into variable file_length and reads the data stream contents of length file_length from offset 16 onwards.

Add a test to ensure that the supplied firmware is long enough to contain the header and the data stream. On failure, log an error and return -EINVAL.

Note: The firmware loading was totally broken before commit ac584af59945 ("staging: comedi: me4000: fix firmware downloading"), but that is the most sensible target for this fix.
