CVE-2026-63892

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

thunderbolt: property: Reject dir_len < 4 to prevent size_t underflow

On the non-root path, __tb_property_parse_dir() takes dir_len from
entry->length (u16 widened to size_t).  Two distinct OOB conditions
follow when entry->length < 4:

1. The non-root path begins with kmemdup(&block[dir_offset],
   sizeof(*dir->uuid), ...) which always reads 4 dwords from
   dir_offset.  tb_property_entry_valid() only enforces
   dir_offset + entry->length <= block_len, so a crafted entry
   with dir_offset close to the end of the property block and
   entry->length in 0..3 passes that gate but lets the UUID copy
   run off the block (e.g. dir_offset = 497, dir_len = 3 in a
   500-dword block reads block[497..501]).

2. After the kmemdup, content_len = dir_len - 4 underflows size_t
   to ~SIZE_MAX, nentries becomes SIZE_MAX / 4, and the entry
   walk runs OOB on each iteration until an entry fails
   validation or the kernel oopses on an unmapped page.

Reject dir_len < 4 on the non-root path *before* the UUID kmemdup,
which closes both holes.

Also move INIT_LIST_HEAD(&dir->properties) up to immediately after
the dir allocation so the new error-return path (and the existing
uuid-alloc failure path) calling tb_property_free_dir() sees a
walkable list rather than the zero-initialized NULL next/prev that
list_for_each_entry_safe() would oops on.
