Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net: usb: aqc111: Fix out-of-bounds accesses in RX fixup<br />
<br />
aqc111_rx_fixup() contains several out-of-bounds accesses that can be<br />
triggered by a malicious (or defective) USB device, in particular:<br />
<br />
- The metadata array (desc_offset..desc_offset+2*pkt_count) can be out of bounds,<br />
causing OOB reads and (on big-endian systems) OOB endianness flips.<br />
- A packet can overlap the metadata array, causing a later OOB<br />
endianness flip to corrupt data used by a cloned SKB that has already<br />
been handed off into the network stack.<br />
- A packet SKB can be constructed whose tail is far beyond its end,<br />
causing out-of-bounds heap data to be considered part of the SKB&#39;s<br />
data.<br />
<br />
Found doing variant analysis. Tested it with another driver (ax88179_178a), since<br />
I don&#39;t have a aqc111 device to test it, but the code looks very similar.
