Prior to this change, it was possible for a malicious client to send a buffer of 1024 NUL bytes, which would cause the parser to overflow the argv array and eventually crash the program. This change makes the length of the argv array the same as the length of the recv buffer, which means that even an input of all 0 bytes would not cause any issues. The client would just get a bunch of ERR responses in return. |

Saitek X52Pro joystick driver for Linux
This project adds a new driver for the Saitek/MadCatz X52 Pro flight control system. The X52 pro is a HOTAS (hand on throttle and stick) with 7 axes, 39 buttons, 1 hat and 1 thumbstick and a multi-function display which is programmable.
Currently, only Windows drivers are available from Saitek PLC, which led me to develop a new Linux driver which can program the MFD and the individual LEDs on the joystick. The standard usbhid driver is capable of reading the joystick, but it cannot control the MFD or LEDs.
Most of the extra functionality can be handled from userspace. See the individual folders for README information.
Note: This repository currently only provides commandline interfaces to control the MFD and LEDs. If you are not comfortable working in the commandline, then the gx52 project might be a better fit for your needs as it provides a graphical interface to control the MFD and LEDs.
