Subject: [PATCH] usb: gadget: configfs: fix 1-byte OOB read in ext_prop_data_show()
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 22:10:10 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260421141010.5607-1-patzilla007@gmail.com> (raw)

In ext_prop_data_store(), for unicode property types, the data buffer
is allocated via kmemdup() with size 'len', but data_len is inflated
to len*2+2 to account for the UTF-16 encoding and a 2-byte null
terminator. The null terminator is not actually stored in the data
buffer.

When ext_prop_data_show() reads the data back, it computes the read
length as data_len >> 1 = len+1, then does memcpy(page, data, len+1),
reading 1 byte past the allocated buffer. This is a slab-out-of-bounds
read that leaks 1 byte of adjacent heap data to userspace via configfs.

KASAN report (5.10.252):

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ext_prop_data_show+0x4a/0x60
  Read of size 9 at addr ffff888005546008 by task poc/62

  Allocated by task 62:
   kmemdup+0x17/0x40
   ext_prop_data_store+0x52/0x130
   configfs_write_file+0x168/0x200

  The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff888005546008
   which belongs to the cache kmalloc-8 of size 8

Fix by allocating len+1 bytes and null-terminating the buffer, so the
extra byte read in show() returns a known-zero byte instead of
adjacent slab data.
