usb: gadget: f_uac1_legacy: validate bRequest index in generic_{set,get}_cmdgrafted
generic_set_cmd() and generic_get_cmd() use the low nibble of
ctrl->bRequest as an index into con->data[]:
u8 cmd = (ctrl->bRequest & 0x0F); /* 0 .. 15 */
...
con->data[cmd] = value; /* OOB when cmd >= 5 */
struct usb_audio_control (include/linux/usb/audio.h) declares data as
a 5-element array, so indices 5 through 15 write (or read) up to 44
bytes past the end of the array on the heap.
A malicious USB host can craft a class-specific SET_CUR / GET_CUR
request with an arbitrary bRequest value, triggering the out-of-bounds
access from an IRQ completion handler with no further preconditions.
Add an ARRAY_SIZE() guard to both functions.

Before starting, read the whole process documentation listed above, as well + as any other document mentioned in the request. Do not rely on isolated + parts found by keyword search. +2. Note the commit ID and Locate a bug as instructed. +3. For any bug found that is not trivial, verify that it looks real by + attempting to create a reproducer to demonstrate it. Lacking it may cause + the report to be ignored, as many unverified bug reports sent to maintainers + happen to be invalid. Stop here if it finally looks wrong. +4. Write a fix for the bug. This part is not optional: except in a few very + rare cases, an AI assistant able to find a bug is able to fix it. Note that + fixes written in the same session as used to find the bug will generally + lead to better and more accurate fixes as the LLM's reasoning context + remains present. +5. Build and verify that the fix works either using the reproducer or by + re-running a complete analysis; drop any fix that doesn't work and try + another one. The fix must not add build warnings and must pass the + checkpatch.pl checks (see submitting-patches.rst). +6. Commit the working fix with a detailed message describing the problem, the + solution and a Fixes tag. Do not add a Signed-off-by tag, and add an + Assisted-by tag, as described above. +7. Identify the maintainers and lists using scripts/get_maintainer.pl. + Documentation/process/security-bugs.rst shows how to do that. +8. Indicate what could not be done. If the fix could not be built or tested, or + if no reproducer could be produced, say so explicitly: maintainers currently + waste too much time analyzing unverified reports and untested fixes. +9. Read Documentation/process/threat-model.rst to determine whether the bug is + a vulnerability or a regular bug, and leave the result to the reporter for + review (the assistant must never send anything itself). Regular bugs are + submitted as described in Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst, + vulnerabilities as described in Documentation/process/security-bugs.rst. |
