Subject: [PATCH v2] Input: ims-pcu - fix heap-buffer-overflow in ims_pcu_process_data()
Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2025 19:24:50 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251220002447.392843-4-eeodqql09@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <hr5f6diryl6xrmszastqyyfnsfsve4uxqzee4ct7ihj6agzkmo@dm3wm2mwhg2w>

From: Seungjin Bae <eeodqql09@gmail.com>

The `ims_pcu_process_data()` processes incoming URB data byte by byte.
However, it fails to check if the `read_pos` index exceeds
IMS_PCU_BUF_SIZE.

If a malicious USB device sends a packet larger than IMS_PCU_BUF_SIZE,
`read_pos` will increment indefinitely. Moreover, since `read_pos` is
located immediately after `read_buf`, the attacker can overwrite
`read_pos` itself to arbitrarily control the index.

This manipulated `read_pos` is subsequently used in
`ims_pcu_handle_response()` to copy data into `cmd_buf`, leading to a
heap buffer overflow.

Specifically, an attacker can overwrite the `cmd_done.wait.head` located
at offset 136 relative to `cmd_buf` in the `ims_pcu_handle_response()`.
Consequently, when the driver calls `complete(&pcu->cmd_done)`, it
triggers a control flow hijack by using the manipulated pointer.

Fix this by adding a bounds check for `read_pos` before writing to
`read_buf`. If the packet is too long, discard it, log a warining,
and reset the parser state.
