firewire: cdev: check write quadlet request length to avoid buffer overflow
Check that the data length of a write quadlet request actually is large
enough for a quadlet. Otherwise, fw_fill_request could access the four
bytes after the end of the outbound_transaction_event structure.
Signed-off-by: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de>
Modification of Clemens' change: Consolidate the check into
init_request() which is used by the affected ioctl_send_request() and
ioctl_send_broadcast_request() and the unaffected
ioctl_send_stream_packet(), to save a few lines of code.
Note, since struct outbound_transaction_event *e is slab-allocated, such
an out-of-bounds access won't hit unallocated memory but may result in a
(virtually impossible to exploit) information disclosure.
