Hi,
I found the following slab-out-of-bounds write in the wacom HID driver
while fuzzing with syzkaller on v7.1.0-rc4-next-20260522:

This is a regression from commit 5e013ad20689 ("HID: wacom: Remove
static WACOM_PKGLEN_MAX limit"), first present in v6.15-rc1. Before
that commit, wacom_raw_event() rejected reports exceeding
WACOM_PKGLEN_MAX (361 bytes) and the kfifo was sized at 512 bytes
(361 rounded up). After the commit, the size cap was removed and the
kfifo is dynamically sized as min(PAGE_SIZE, 10 * pktlen), which can
be as small as 256 bytes.
wacom_wac_queue_insert() passes the report size directly to kfifo_in()
without validating that it fits. When a UHID_INPUT2 event delivers a
report up to 4096 bytes (UHID_DATA_MAX), kfifo_copy_in() writes up to
3840 bytes past the end of the kmalloc-256 slab object.
The fix adds a bounds check in wacom_wac_queue_insert() to reject
reports that exceed the kfifo capacity.
Thanks,
Jinmo

wacom_wac_queue_insert() passes the report size directly to kfifo_in()
without checking whether the report fits in the kfifo buffer.
Since commit 5e013ad20689 ("HID: wacom: Remove static WACOM_PKGLEN_MAX
limit"), the kfifo is sized dynamically as min(PAGE_SIZE, 10 * pktlen),
which can be as small as 256 bytes. However, reports received via
UHID_INPUT2 can be up to UHID_DATA_MAX (4096) bytes. When such an
oversized report reaches wacom_wac_queue_insert(), the existing
kfifo_avail() loop cannot make room for a record larger than the total
buffer, causing kfifo_copy_in() to memcpy up to 3840 bytes past the
slab allocation.
Add a size check at the top of wacom_wac_queue_insert() to reject
reports that exceed the kfifo capacity.

HID: wacom: validate report size before kfifo insert
This commit adds a check in wacom_wac_queue_insert() to reject reports
that exceed the total kfifo capacity. This aims to prevent oversized
reports from causing out-of-bounds writes during kfifo insertion.

[Severity: Critical]
Does this validation correctly account for the record header overhead?
Since the driver uses a record-based kfifo (kfifo_rec_ptr_2), each inserted
record is prefixed with a 2-byte length header. This means the maximum
available payload space in an empty kfifo is kfifo_size(fifo) - 2.
If an attacker sends a report with a size exactly equal to kfifo_size(fifo)
or kfifo_size(fifo) - 1, this check falsely passes.

> + __func__, size, kfifo_size(fifo));
> + return;
> + }
> +
> while (kfifo_avail(fifo) < size) {
If the payload requires more space than the empty kfifo can provide,
the kfifo_avail() check will be smaller than size, and the loop will
execute on an empty buffer:
> if (!warned)
> hid_warn(hdev, "%s: kfifo has filled, starting to drop events\n", __func__);
> warned = true;
>
> kfifo_skip(fifo);
> }
Could calling kfifo_skip() on an empty kfifo underflow the internal
pointers and corrupt the ring buffer's state?
If this allows the subsequent kfifo_in() to write an oversized payload
and overwrite the 2-byte record header with attacker-controlled data,
would this lead to a massive out-of-bounds read later when
wacom_wac_queue_flush() processes the corrupted record?
[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does the related flush function
wacom_wac_queue_flush() safely allocate memory?
It appears wacom_wac_queue_flush() calls kzalloc() with GFP_KERNEL.
Since this queue processing path is invoked from wacom_raw_event()
(which executes in an atomic context from the USB URB completion handler),
could this GFP_KERNEL allocation sleep and trigger a 'scheduling while
atomic' panic? Should this use GFP_ATOMIC instead?

Does it? Or maybe spins there indefinitely? Also, doesn't
kfifo_copy_in() return 0 if a record it too big and not copy anything?

OK, so the root cause is that kfifo_skip() must not be called on an
empty fifo. I think you want the code to look something like this:
static void wacom_wac_queue_insert(struct hid_device *hdev,
struct kfifo_rec_ptr_2 *fifo,
u8 *raw_data, int size)
{
bool warned = false;
while (kfifo_avail(fifo) < size && !kfifo_is_empty(fifo)) {
if (!warned)
hid_warn(hdev, "%s: kfifo has filled, starting to drop events\n", __func__);
warned = true;
kfifo_skip(fifo);
}
if (!kfifo_in(fifo, raw_data, size))
hid_warn_ratelimited(hdev, "%s: report is too large (%d)\n",
__func__, size);
}
Thanks.

wacom_wac_queue_insert() calls kfifo_skip() in a loop when the kfifo
doesn't have enough space for the incoming report. If the kfifo is
empty, kfifo_skip() reads stale data left in the kmalloc'd buffer
via __kfifo_peek_n() and interprets it as a record length, advancing
fifo->out by that garbage value. This corrupts the internal kfifo
state, causing kfifo_unused() to return a value much larger than the
actual buffer size, which bypasses __kfifo_in_r()'s guard:
if (len + recsize > kfifo_unused(fifo))
return 0;
kfifo_copy_in() then performs an out-of-bounds memcpy, writing up to
3842 bytes past the 256-byte buffer.
Add a !kfifo_is_empty() condition to the while loop so kfifo_skip()
is never called on an empty fifo, and check the return value of
kfifo_in() to reject reports that are too large for the fifo.

Changes in v2:
- Instead of a size check at the top, add !kfifo_is_empty() to the
while loop condition to prevent kfifo_skip() on an empty fifo
(Suggested by Dmitry Torokhov)
- Check kfifo_in() return value to reject oversized reports instead
of a separate guard

HID: wacom: fix slab-out-of-bounds write in wacom_wac_queue_insert

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but is it safe to use GFP_KERNEL here?
Looking at the call chain, wacom_wac_queue_flush() is invoked via
wacom_wac_pen_serial_enforce() from the driver's .raw_event callback,
wacom_raw_event().
For USB HID devices, this callback is typically triggered by hid_irq_in(),
which is an URB completion handler that runs in an atomic context.
Since using GFP_KERNEL allows the allocator to sleep, could this lead to a
scheduling while atomic panic? Would it be better to use GFP_ATOMIC instead?
