Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
usbnet: ipheth: use static NDP16 location in URB<br />
<br />
Original code allowed for the start of NDP16 to be anywhere within the<br />
URB based on the `wNdpIndex` value in NTH16. Only the start position of<br />
NDP16 was checked, so it was possible for even the fixed-length part<br />
of NDP16 to extend past the end of URB, leading to an out-of-bounds<br />
read.<br />
<br />
On iOS devices, the NDP16 header always directly follows NTH16. Rely on<br />
and check for this specific format.<br />
<br />
This, along with NCM-specific minimal URB length check that already<br />
exists, will ensure that the fixed-length part of NDP16 plus a set<br />
amount of DPEs fit within the URB.<br />
<br />
Note that this commit alone does not fully address the OoB read.<br />
The limit on the amount of DPEs needs to be enforced separately.
