Hello,
I did a checking for this report of syzbot [1]
From the call stack of dump log:
There shows that a problem within technisat_usb2_get_ir()
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in technisat_usb2_get_ir
drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/technisat-usb2.c:664 [inline]
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in technisat_usb2_rc_query+0x5fa/0x660

Take a look into while loop in technisat_usb2_get_ir().
I recognized that a problem. The loop will not break out with the
condition doesn't reach. Then "b++" will go wrong and buffer will be
overflow.
while (1) {
[...]
b++;
if (*b == 0xff) {
ev.pulse = 0;
ev.duration = 888888*2;
ir_raw_event_store(d->rc_dev, &ev);
break;
}
}
I would propose changing the loop condition by checking the address of
the buffer. If acceptable, I will send this patch to the mailing-list.
eg:
- while (1) {
+ while (b != (buf + 63)) {
[...]
}
Tested with syzbot, result is good [2].
