ieee.c: Fix possible infinite loop and avoid empty device_ids#170
Merged
Conversation
If model in device id was empty, library got into infinite loop. There are several layers of protection now: - library now does not allow empty strings for key or value - device ids without values are thrown away - comparison now happens only when there is actual string to compare with, aka length > 0 Fixes: CVE-2026-64611
