| Series | USB: core: Fix unterminated string returned by usb_string() | expand |
Index: usb-devel/drivers/usb/core/message.c =================================================================== --- usb-devel.orig/drivers/usb/core/message.c +++ usb-devel/drivers/usb/core/message.c @@ -820,9 +820,11 @@ int usb_string(struct usb_device *dev, i if (dev->state == USB_STATE_SUSPENDED) return -EHOSTUNREACH; - if (size <= 0 || !buf || !index) + if (size <= 0 || !buf) return -EINVAL; buf[0] = 0; + if (index <= 0 || index >= 256) + return -EINVAL; tbuf = kmalloc(256, GFP_NOIO); if (!tbuf) return -ENOMEM;
Some drivers (such as the vub300 MMC driver) expect usb_string() to return a properly NUL-terminated string, even when an error occurs. (In fact, vub300's probe routine doesn't bother to check the return code from usb_string().) When the driver goes on to use an unterminated string, it leads to kernel errors such as stack-out-of-bounds, as found by the syzkaller USB fuzzer. An out-of-range string index argument is not at all unlikely, given that some devices don't provide string descriptors and therefore list 0 as the value for their string indexes. This patch makes usb_string() return a properly terminated empty string along with the -EINVAL error code when an out-of-range index is encountered. And since a USB string index is a single-byte value, indexes >= 256 are just as invalid as values of 0 or below.
