Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: serial: kl5kusb105: fix bulk-out buffer overflow
klsi_105_prepare_write_buffer() is called by the generic write path
with the bulk-out buffer and its size (bulk_out_size, 64 bytes). It
stores a two-byte length header at the start of the buffer and copies
the payload from the write fifo starting at buf + KLSI_HDR_LEN, but
passes the full buffer size as the number of bytes to copy:
count = kfifo_out_locked(&port->write_fifo, buf + KLSI_HDR_LEN,
size, &port->lock);
When the fifo holds at least size bytes, size bytes are copied starting
two bytes into the size-byte buffer, writing KLSI_HDR_LEN bytes past its
end. Copy at most size - KLSI_HDR_LEN bytes instead, leaving room for
the header as safe_serial already does.
Writing bulk_out_size or more bytes to the tty triggers a slab
out-of-bounds write, observed with KASAN by emulating the device with
dummy_hcd and raw-gadget:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in kfifo_copy_out+0x83/0xc0
Write of size 64 at addr ffff888112c62202 by task python3
kfifo_copy_out
klsi_105_prepare_write_buffer [kl5kusb105]
usb_serial_generic_write_start [usbserial]
Allocated by task 139:
usb_serial_probe [usbserial]
The buggy address is located 2 bytes inside of allocated 64-byte region
The out-of-bounds write no longer occurs with this change applied.
