Subject: [PATCH 1/2] HID: hyperv: validate initial device info bounds
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 22:28:53 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710022854.3739558-2-michael.bommarito@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710022854.3739558-1-michael.bommarito@gmail.com>
The Hyper-V synthetic HID host supplies SYNTH_HID_INITIAL_DEVICE_INFO
messages that contain a HID descriptor followed by the report descriptor
bytes. mousevsc_on_receive_device_info() trusts bLength and
wDescriptorLength without checking that the received packet contains both
byte ranges.
A malformed host or backend message can therefore make the guest read
past the received VMBus packet while copying the report descriptor. Pass
the received initial-device-info size into the parser and reject
descriptor lengths that exceed the packet.
Impact: A malicious Hyper-V host or backend can crash a guest by sending
a short initial device-info message with an oversized HID report
descriptor length.
Fixes: b95f5bcb811e ("HID: Move the hid-hyperv driver out of staging")
