A few not-really-an-issue fixes found by Claude: 1. ctx->buttons_down[number]: the 'number' value comes from libinput_event_tablet_pad_get_button_number() and is written into a fixed-size array of 32 elements without bounds checking. A crafted or malicious device reporting button numbers >= 32 causes a stack buffer overflow. 2. ctx->ring[number], ctx->strip[number], ctx->dial[number]: these are fixed-size arrays of 2 elements each. Ring/strip/dial numbers from libinput events are used as indices without bounds checking. Values >= 2 cause out-of-bounds writes. 3. assert()-based error handling for open() and libevdev_new_from_fd(): assert() is compiled to a no-op in release builds (NDEBUG). This means that in release builds, a failed open() returns fd=-1, and libevdev_new_from_fd() is called with an invalid fd. The result is undefined behavior. 4. Variable-length array (VLA) 'empty[termwidth]' in print_bar(): termwidth comes from an ioctl(TIOCGWINSZ) call and could be very large, causing a stack overflow. Replace with a fixed-size buffer. None of these really matter for a niche debugging tool. Co-Authored-by: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com> Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/merge_requests/1467> |

libinput
libinput is a library that provides a full input stack for display servers and other applications that need to handle input devices provided by the kernel.
libinput provides device detection, event handling and abstraction to minimize the amount of custom input code the user of libinput needs to provide the common set of functionality that users expect. Input event processing includes scaling touch coordinates, generating relative pointer events from touchpads, pointer acceleration, etc.
User documentation
Documentation explaining features available in libinput is available here.
This includes the FAQ and the instructions on reporting bugs.
