The wait and bulk receive paths walk variable-length commands from a
USB buffer. A nonzero command shorter than CMD_HEADER_LEN can still be
dispatched, and the wait path copies a matching command into a fixed
caller-owned struct kvaser_cmd using the device-provided length.
Reject nonzero commands that do not contain the fixed header or that
extend beyond the current USB buffer item. In the wait path, also reject
a matching command that exceeds the destination before copying it.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:
Pre-existing issues:
- [High] A malicious USB device can cause an infinite loop in the driver's receive paths by presenting a bulk endpoint with a wMaxPacketSize of 0.
- [High] Missing length bounds validation in Hydra command parsing allows out-of-bounds reads and infinite loops.
- [High] The driver does not validate that `max_outstanding_tx` is non-zero, allowing a malicious device to trigger a divide-by-zero panic.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but looking at the lines just above
this in kvaser_usb_leaf_wait_cmd():
if (tmp->len == 0) {
pos = round_up(pos + 1,
le16_to_cpu
(dev->bulk_in->wMaxPacketSize));
continue;
}
If a malicious USB device supplies a wMaxPacketSize of 0, will round_up()
evaluate to 0?
Does this cause the loop variable pos to continually reset to 0 and create
an infinite loop?

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but the same round_up() logic with wMaxPacketSize
appears right above here in kvaser_usb_leaf_read_bulk_callback():
if (cmd->len == 0) {
pos = round_up(pos + 1, le16_to_cpu
(dev->bulk_in->wMaxPacketSize));
continue;
}
Can this also result in an infinite loop in softirq context if wMaxPacketSize
is 0?

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does kvaser_usb_hydra.c have a similar lack
of length bounds validation?
In kvaser_usb_hydra_read_bulk_callback() and kvaser_usb_hydra_wait_cmd():
drivers/net/can/usb/kvaser_usb/kvaser_usb_hydra.c:kvaser_usb_hydra_cmd_size() {
...
if (cmd->header.cmd_no == CMD_EXTENDED)
ret = le16_to_cpu(((struct kvaser_cmd_ext *)cmd)->len);
...
}
If a fragmented or malicious packet leaves fewer than 6 bytes, could reading
the len field at offset 4 access out-of-bounds memory?
Additionally, if the extracted cmd_len is 0:
drivers/net/can/usb/kvaser_usb/kvaser_usb_hydra.c:kvaser_usb_hydra_read_bulk_callback() {
...
cmd_len = kvaser_usb_hydra_cmd_size(cmd);
if (pos + cmd_len > len) {
...
}
...
pos += cmd_len;
}
Does the boundary check (pos + cmd_len > len) evaluate to false since pos < len,
causing the driver to update pos += 0 and loop infinitely?
[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but is dev->max_tx_urbs validated when received
from the device firmware?
drivers/net/can/usb/kvaser_usb/kvaser_usb_leaf.c:kvaser_usb_leaf_get_software_info_leaf() {
...
dev->max_tx_urbs = le16_to_cpu(softinfo->max_outstanding_tx);
...
}
If a malicious device reports a max_outstanding_tx of 0, could this cause a
divide-by-zero panic later when handling transmit acknowledgments?
drivers/net/can/usb/kvaser_usb/kvaser_usb_leaf.c:kvaser_usb_leaf_tx_acknowledge() {
...
context = &priv->tx_contexts[tid % dev->max_tx_urbs];
...
}
