Subject: [PATCH] usb: Fix null-ptr-deref in qt2_process_read_urb()
Date: Sat, 11 Jan 2025 20:08:49 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Z4LP0VsyOkaRBQL9@qasdev.system> (raw)
This patch addresses a null-ptr-deref in qt2_process_read_urb() due to
an incorrect bounds check in the following:
""
if (newport > serial->num_ports) {
dev_err(&port->dev,
"%s - port change to invalid port: %i\n",
__func__, newport);
break;
}
""
The condition doesn't account for the valid range of the serial->port
buffer, which is from 0 to serial->num_ports - 1. When newport is equal
to serial->num_ports, the assignment of "port" in the
following code is out-of-bounds and NULL:
""
serial_priv->current_port = newport;
port = serial->port[serial_priv->current_port];
""
The fix checks if newport is greater than or equal to serial->num_ports
indicating it is out-of-bounds.
