wacom_wac_pen_serial_enforce() iterates over a field's usages (up to
field->maxusage) but indexes the report bits by j * report_size:
for (i = 0; i < report->maxfield; i++) {
for (j = 0; j < report->field[i]->maxusage; j++) {
...
value = hid_field_extract(hdev, raw_data + 1,
offset + j * size, size);
In hid_add_field() the usage array is sized max(usage_index,
report_count), so field->maxusage can be far larger than report_count
when a descriptor lists more usages than its Report Count. A field
declaring Usage Minimum 0 / Usage Maximum 0x2ffe with Report Count 1
gives maxusage == 12288 while the field's bit region is only 8 bits
wide. The extract at j == 12287 then reads bit offset 12287 * 8, i.e.
byte 12287 of raw_data + 1, roughly 12 KB past a 2-byte received
report. __extract() performs no bounds check.
The value read that way is stored into wacom_wac->serial[0] and can be
emitted to userspace as an MSC_SERIAL event by wacom_wac_pen_report(),
so this is an information disclosure and not just an out-of-bounds
read. A malicious device only has to claim vendor id 0x056a for
hid_scan_report() to place it in HID_GROUP_WACOM and have this driver
bound to it, and a single crafted input report is enough to trigger the
read.
Clamp the inner loop to the field's actual report region with
min(maxusage, report_count), so usages that have no report data behind
them are no longer extracted.
Verified on v6.12.104, whose wacom_sys.c is identical to mainline here,
with a UHID reproducer and with an emulated USB device (raw-gadget): a
hardware watchpoint on wacom_wac->serial[0] fires with an out-of-bounds
heap byte while a 2-byte report is being processed, and no longer fires
once the loop is clamped.

HID: wacom: fix OOB read in wacom_wac_pen_serial_enforce()
This commit fixes an out-of-bounds read in wacom_wac_pen_serial_enforce()
by clamping the usage iteration count to the field's actual report count.
This prevents extracting data beyond the received report bounds when a
descriptor lists more usages than its Report Count.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does the call to
hid_field_extract() later in this loop cause an out-of-bounds read if the
report is unnumbered?
Inside the loop, the code calls:
value = hid_field_extract(hdev, raw_data+1, offset + j * size, size);
This blindly adds 1 to raw_data, assuming raw_data[0] is a report ID. If an
attacker crafts a USB HID device (or uses UHID) with the Wacom vendor ID
(0x056a) but provides a descriptor with no Report ID, the transport layer
allocates a buffer exactly matching the payload size.
For the last field in such an unnumbered report, this reads 1 byte past the
end of the heap allocation. Since the extracted value can be stored in
wacom_wac->serial[0] and emitted to userspace via MSC_SERIAL events, could
this lead to a 1-byte out-of-bounds heap read and information disclosure?

Please use that one instead. The only difference is the Assisted-by
tags that Documentation/process/coding-assistants.rst asks for -- AI
tools were used in finding and fixing this bug and I should have
acknowledged that in the original posting. The diff is unchanged.
Please mark this one superseded.
Thanks, and sorry for the noise,
