Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.6 12/18] usb: potential integer overflow in usbg_make_tpg()
Date: Mon,  9 Jun 2025 09:46:46 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250609134652.1344323-12-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250609134652.1344323-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Chen Yufeng <chenyufeng@iie.ac.cn>

[ Upstream commit 153874010354d050f62f8ae25cbb960c17633dc5 ]

The variable tpgt in usbg_make_tpg() is defined as unsigned long and is
assigned to tpgt->tport_tpgt, which is defined as u16. This may cause an
integer overflow when tpgt is greater than USHRT_MAX (65535). I
haven't tried to trigger it myself, but it is possible to trigger it
by calling usbg_make_tpg() with a large value for tpgt.

I modified the type of tpgt to match tpgt->tport_tpgt and adjusted the
relevant code accordingly.

This patch is similar to commit 59c816c1f24d ("vhost/scsi: potential
memory corruption").

Based on my comprehensive analysis, here's my decision:

**YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:

## Analysis of the Integer Overflow Bug

**1. Clear Security/Correctness Issue:**
The bug is a classic integer overflow vulnerability where a user-
controlled value (`tpgt`) parsed from a string via `kstrtoul()` as an
`unsigned long` gets truncated when assigned to a `u16` field
(`tpg->tport_tpgt`).

In the original code at line 1690:
```c
unsigned long tpgt;  // Can hold values up to ULONG_MAX
// ... kstrtoul(name + 5, 0, &tpgt) ...
tpg->tport_tpgt = tpgt;  // u16 field - truncation occurs!
```

If a user provides a value like `tpgt_70000`, the parsing succeeds
(70000 < UINT_MAX), but when assigned to the 16-bit field, it becomes
`70000 & 0xFFFF = 4464`, completely changing the intended value.

**2. Matches Stable Backport Criteria:**
- **Important Bug Fix**: Yes - prevents integer overflow and data
  corruption
- **Small, Contained Change**: Yes - only changes variable type and
  validation function
- **No Architectural Changes**: Correct - simply fixes data type
  mismatch
- **Minimal Regression Risk**: Very low risk - more restrictive
  validation
- **Confined to Subsystem**: Yes - only affects USB gadget target mode

**3. Historical Precedent:**
The fix directly references commit `59c816c1f24d` which was a nearly
identical fix in `drivers/vhost/scsi.c` that was backported to stable
trees. That commit fixed the exact same pattern:
- `unsigned long tpgt` → `u16 tpgt`
- `kstrtoul() || tpgt > UINT_MAX` → `kstrtou16()`
- Assignment to `u16 tport_tpgt` field

**4. Real Impact:**
While this requires privileged access to trigger (configfs
manipulation), the integer overflow could lead to:
- Unexpected behavior in target portal group handling
- Potential confusion in multi-target setups
- Data integrity issues in storage target configuration

**5. Code Quality:**
The fix properly aligns the variable type with its intended use and
makes the validation more precise by using `kstrtou16()` instead of the
broader `kstrtoul()` check.

This fix exemplifies the type of integer overflow prevention that stable
trees actively accept - targeted, low-risk corrections that prevent
subtle but potentially serious bugs from affecting users.
