Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
usb: typec: wcove: don&#39;t write past struct pd_message in wcove_read_rx_buffer()<br />
<br />
wcove_read_rx_buffer() copies the PD RX FIFO into the caller&#39;s<br />
struct pd_message with<br />
<br />
for (i = 0; i regmap, USBC_RX_DATA + i, msg + i);<br />
<br />
which has two problems:<br />
<br />
USBC_RXINFO_RXBYTES() is a 5-bit field (max 31) while struct pd_message<br />
is 30 bytes (__le16 header + __le32 payload[PD_MAX_PAYLOAD], packed).<br />
The byte count latched in RXINFO is the number of bytes the port partner<br />
put on the wire, so a malicious partner that transmits a 31-byte frame<br />
can drive the loop one byte past the destination if the WCOVE BMC<br />
receiver does not enforce the PD object-count limit in hardware. The<br />
existing FIXME flagged this as unverified.<br />
<br />
Independently, regmap_read() takes an unsigned int * and stores a full<br />
unsigned int at the destination. Passing the byte pointer msg + i means<br />
each iteration writes four bytes; the high three are zero (val_bits is<br />
8) and are normally overwritten by the next iteration, but the final<br />
iteration&#39;s high bytes are not. With RXBYTES == 30 the i == 29 iteration<br />
already writes three zero bytes past msg, which sits on the IRQ thread&#39;s<br />
stack in wcove_typec_irq().<br />
<br />
Clamp the loop to sizeof(struct pd_message) and read each register into<br />
a local before storing only its low byte, so the copy can never exceed<br />
the destination regardless of what RXINFO reports.
