| Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: cx82310_eth: drop URB after 0xffff reboot sentinel to prevent partial_data heap overflow
The 0xffff length sentinel detects a router reboot and schedules
re-enabling of ethernet mode, but then falls through to the rest
of the loop body. The next check is
} else if (len > CX82310_MTU) {
which is the else of the just-matched if -- it never fires for
len == 0xffff. The MTU bound that normally caps the
incomplete-packet save path is silently bypassed.
With 0xffff > skb->len always true (rx_urb_size is 4096), the
incomplete-packet branch saves dev->partial_len = skb->len bytes
into dev->partial_data. partial_data is kmalloc(hard_mtu) =
kmalloc(CX82310_MTU + 2) = 1516 bytes, but skb->len after the
2-byte header pull can be up to 4094. A device that sends a
4096-byte URB starting with [0xff 0xff] therefore copies 4094
device-provided bytes into a buffer allocated for 1516 bytes,
exceeding its requested size by 2578 bytes.
The next URB then reads dev->partial_len (4094) back from the same
1516-byte buffer and dev->partial_rem (65535 - 4094 = 61441) from
the new URB's ~4KB skb, both well past their allocations, and
delivers the spliced result as a 64KB "frame" to the network
stack.
Bail out of rx_fixup after scheduling the re-enable work; the
remainder of a reboot-marker URB is not meaningful packet data.
This restores the invariant that partial_len < CX82310_MTU + 2 on
the save path, since every other route there has already passed
the MTU check. |
