What to Know

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Input: usbtouchscreen - clamp NEXIO data_len/x_len to URB buffer size

nexio_read_data() pulls data_len and x_len from a packed __be16 header

in the device's interrupt packet and then walks packet->data[0..x_len)

and packet->data[x_len..data_len) comparing each byte against a

threshold.

Both fields are 16-bit on the wire (max 65535). The existing

adjustments shave at most 0x100 / 0x80 off, so the loop bound can still

reach roughly 0xfeff. The URB transfer buffer for NEXIO is rept_size

(1024) bytes from usb_alloc_coherent(), with the first 7 occupied by the

packed header — so packet->data[] has 1017 valid bytes. read_data()

callbacks are not given urb->actual_length, and nothing else bounds the

walk.

A device that lies about its length can get a ~64 KiB out-of-bounds read

past the coherent DMA allocation. The first index whose byte exceeds

NEXIO_THRESHOLD lands in begin_x / begin_y and from there into the

reported touch coordinates, so adjacent kernel memory contents leak to

userspace as ABS_X / ABS_Y events. Far enough out, the read can also

hit an unmapped page and fault.

Fix this all by clamping data_len to the buffer's data[] capacity and

x_len to data_len. (NVD)
