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

fpga: microchip-spi: fix zero header_size OOB read in mpf_ops_parse_header()

mpf_ops_parse_header() reads header_size from the bitstream at
MPF_HEADER_SIZE_OFFSET (24). When header_size is zero, the expression
*(buf + header_size - 1) reads one byte before the buffer start.

Since initial_header_size is set to 71 in mpf_ops, the fpga-mgr core
guarantees the buffer is large enough to reach MPF_HEADER_SIZE_OFFSET.
The only real gap is the zero header_size case, which cannot be
resolved by providing a larger buffer, so return -EINVAL.
