[PATCH] USB: serial: cypress_m8: fix memory corruption with small endpoint

[PATCH] USB: serial: cypress_m8: fix memory corruption with small endpoint

[Johan Hovold]

Make sure that the interrupt-out endpoint max packet size is at least
eight bytes to avoid user-controlled slab corruption or NULL-pointer
dereference should a malicious device report a smaller size.

Fixes: 3416eaa1f8f8 ("USB: cypress_m8: Packet format is separate from characteristic size")

Re: [PATCH] USB: serial: cypress_m8: fix memory corruption with small endpoint

[Cen Zhang]

Hi Johan,

I took a closer look at your patch and tested it on top of commit
917719c412c4 with KASAN enabled.  I applied your patch, rebuilt the
kernel, and reran the same reproducer I used for the report.

The original reproducer still triggers:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in cypress_read_int_callback+0x240/0x7f0
  Read of size 1

I reproduced this with the in-kernel dummy_hcd host and the raw_gadget
interface. The emulated Earthmate-compatible device uses:

idVendor = 0x1163
idProduct = 0x0200
interrupt-in ep = 0x81, wMaxPacketSize = 1
interrupt-out ep = 0x02, wMaxPacketSize = 16

To reproduce, boot a KASAN kernel with dummy_hcd, raw_gadget,
usbserial, and cypress_m8 enabled, then run:

  modprobe -r g_zero g_serial g_mass_storage 2>/dev/null || true
  modprobe dummy_hcd raw_gadget usbmon usbserial cypress_m8 || true
  gcc -Wall -Wextra -O2 -o cypress_minigadget cypress_minigadget.c
  ./cypress_minigadget &
  for i in $(seq 1 160); do
          [ -e /dev/ttyUSB0 ] && break
          sleep 0.25
  done
  sh -c 'exec 3<>/dev/ttyUSB0; sleep 6; exec 3>&-'

The full reproducer is included below.

I think the reason is that your patch rejects small interrupt-out
endpoint sizes, but this reproducer has interrupt_out_size = 16, so the
new check is not hit.  The remaining issue is on the read side:
packet_format_1 reads data[1] before checking that urb->actual_length
contains the two-byte header.

I also tested a variant with interrupt-out wMaxPacketSize = 1.  Your
patch rejects that device during port probe with -EINVAL before ttyUSB0
is exposed, so the new check works for that endpoint-size case.

Please let me know if I missed anything in the test setup or in the
analysis above.  I am happy to help test another version, or send a
follow-up patch for cypress_read_int_callback() using your earlier
comments if that would be useful.

Best regards,
Zhang Cen

Sorry if it wasn't clear but my patch isn't meant to replace yours as it
fixes a separate issue (introduced by the same commit).

Thanks for testing it.

I'm hoping you can send me a v2 of your fix.

I’ll work on a v2 of my fix and send it as soon as possible.

Thanks a lot for your guidance.
