[PATCH] usb: gadget: configfs: Fix OOB read on empty string write

From: Xinyu Liu
Date: Wed Jul 09 2025 - 00:00:56 EST


When writing an empty string to either 'qw_sign' or 'landingPage'
sysfs attributes, the store functions attempt to access page[l - 1]
before validating that the length 'l' is greater than zero.

This patch fixes the vulnerability by adding a check at the beginning
of os_desc_qw_sign_store() and webusb_landingPage_store() to handle
the zero-length input case gracefully by returning immediately.
