What to Know

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

usb: gadget: uac: validate rate list length before storing

UAC1 and UAC2 configfs rate-list attributes parse a comma-separated

list of sampling rates and store each parsed value in fixed-size arrays.

The arrays have UAC_MAX_RATES entries, but the store paths do not check

that the input contains at most that many tokens before writing through

opts->name##s[i++].

Writing more than ten rates therefore writes past the end of the

p_srates[] or c_srates[] array in struct f_uac1_opts or struct

f_uac2_opts.

With CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS enabled, writing an 11-entry rate list to the

UAC1 p_srate attribute reports:

UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds

drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_uac1.c:1669:1

index 10 is out of range for type 'int [10]'

__ubsan_handle_out_of_bounds.cold

f_uac1_opts_p_srate_store

configfs_write_iter

vfs_write

ksys_write

do_syscall_64

The same reproducer against the UAC2 p_srate attribute reports:

UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds

drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_uac2.c:2087:1

index 10 is out of range for type 'int [10]'

__ubsan_handle_out_of_bounds.cold

f_uac2_opts_p_srate_store

configfs_write_iter

vfs_write

ksys_write

do_syscall_64

Reject additional tokens once UAC_MAX_RATES entries have been parsed.

Also keep the original kstrdup() pointer for kfree(), because strsep()

advances the parsing cursor. Freeing the advanced cursor leaks the

original buffer on successful parses and can free an interior pointer on

some error paths. (NVD)
