Subject: [PATCH] Input: pegasus-notetaker - fix out-of-bounds access vulnerability in pegasus_parse_packet() function of the pegasus driver
Date: Tue,  7 Oct 2025 17:41:32 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251007214131.3737115-2-eeodqql09@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Seungjin Bae <eeodqql09@gmail.com>

In the pegasus_notetaker driver, the pegasus_probe() function allocates
the URB transfer buffer using the wMaxPacketSize value from
the endpoint descriptor. An attacker can use a malicious USB descriptor
to force the allocation of a very small buffer.

Subsequently, if the device sends an interrupt packet with a specific
pattern (e.g., where the first byte is 0x80 or 0x42),
the pegasus_parse_packet() function parses the packet without checking
the allocated buffer size. This leads to an out-of-bounds memory access,
which could result in a system panic.

Fixes: 948bf18 ("Input: remove third argument of usb_maxpacket()")
