Subject: [PATCH] HID: u2fzero: fix general protection fault in u2fzero_recv
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 21:48:18 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260421134824.35027-1-l1za0.sec@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Haocheng Yu <l1za0.sec@gmail.com>

A general protection fault in u2fzero_recv is reported by a
modified Syzkaller-based kernel fuzzing tool we developed.

The cause is that u2fzero_probe() calls the u2fzero_fill_in_urb()
function but ignores its return value. When the urb setting fails,
dev->urb remains NULL, but u2fzero_probe() continues to run. When
`dev->urb->context = &ctx;` in u2fzero_recv() is executed, the
KASAN null pointer dereference crash will occur.

To fix this vulnerability, I added a check for the return value of
u2fzero_fill_in_urb() and aborted u2fzero_probe() on error. And I
added a NULL value check for dev->urb in u2fzero_recv() to further
ensure its integrity.
