Subject: [PATCH 5.10 39/43] ALSA: usb-audio: fix OOB write in snd_usbmidi_novation_output()
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 15:35:47 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831133400.551906850@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831133358.571886287@linuxfoundation.org>

5.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Marouane El Moufid <eun0us@espilon.net>

commit 1035a8f63bae28e498b0e7b5ac91d749844a7158 upstream.

snd_usbmidi_novation_output() lays out a two-byte header at
transfer_buffer[0..1] and passes &transfer_buffer[2] together with a
length of ep->max_transfer - 2 to snd_rawmidi_transmit():

	count = snd_rawmidi_transmit(ep->ports[0].substream,
				     &transfer_buffer[2],
				     ep->max_transfer - 2);

ep->max_transfer comes from the output endpoint's wMaxPacketSize via
usb_maxpacket(). A malformed or malicious device can advertise a bulk
OUT endpoint with a wMaxPacketSize of 1 - the USB core only clamps this
value downwards - so ep->max_transfer becomes 1 and the count argument
becomes -1.

snd_rawmidi_transmit() passes the negative count on to
__snd_rawmidi_transmit_peek(), where "if (count1 > count) count1 = count"
leaves count1 negative; get_aligned_size() keeps it negative for a
byte-stream substream, so the following memcpy(buffer, ..., count1) runs
with a (size_t)-1 length and writes far past the transfer buffer, which
was allocated with usb_alloc_coherent(ep->max_transfer).

This is the same class of bug that was fixed for snd_usbmidi_akai_output()
in commit 0970274613fb ("ALSA: usb-audio: fix OOB write in
snd_usbmidi_akai_output()"); the novation output routine was left
unguarded. Bail out when the endpoint cannot hold the two-byte header
plus at least one payload byte.
