Subject: [PATCH 5.4.y 3/3] Input: pegasus-notetaker - fix potential out-of-bounds access
Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2025 14:20:46 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251124192046.3812-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251124192046.3812-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Seungjin Bae <eeodqql09@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit 69aeb507312306f73495598a055293fa749d454e ]
In the pegasus_notetaker driver, the pegasus_probe() function allocates
the URB transfer buffer using the wMaxPacketSize value from
the endpoint descriptor. An attacker can use a malicious USB descriptor
to force the allocation of a very small buffer.
Subsequently, if the device sends an interrupt packet with a specific
pattern (e.g., where the first byte is 0x80 or 0x42),
the pegasus_parse_packet() function parses the packet without checking
the allocated buffer size. This leads to an out-of-bounds memory access.
Fixes: 1afca2b66aac ("Input: add Pegasus Notetaker tablet driver")
