📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change corrects sysinfo serialization bounds, requires four bytes before updating firmware_version, and formats firmware lookup identifiers from unsigned byte values.

Changes

System information handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
System information serialization and validation src/hs485d/HS485Device.cpp	SaveToXml uses the encoded sysinfo length. SetSysinfo updates firmware_version only when at least four bytes are available.
Firmware identifier formatting src/hs485d/HS485Device.cpp	GetAvailableFirmware and UpdateFirmware use unsigned sysinfo byte values when constructing firmware identifiers.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 749bb

The PR fixes signed-char handling, but fixed-buffer formatting can still overflow the stack buffer when sysinfo is longer than expected. This bounded correctness risk should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Inline comments:
In `@src/hs485d/HS485Device.cpp`:
- Line 684: Update the guard preceding the sysinfo formatting in the relevant
HS485 device method to return when si.size() is less than 4, ensuring indices
si[2] and si[3] are safe to access. Add coverage for sysinfo input shorter than
four bytes, including the three-byte case.
- Line 684: Update GetAvailableFirmware() and UpdateFirmware() to cast
sysinfo[0] and sysinfo[1] to unsigned char when constructing firmware keys; make
SetSysinfo() require at least four bytes before accessing si[3]; and adjust the
line-468 loop or boundary condition to reserve space for the string terminator
and prevent writes beyond buffer index 16.
- Line 468: Update the sysinfo formatting loop in SaveToXml so it cannot write
beyond buffer: limit the iteration to the available capacity for two hex
characters per byte plus the null terminator, or use a size-aware formatting
approach. Preserve the existing uppercase hexadecimal output while ensuring the
terminator always remains within bounds.
