Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 2/2] HID: mcp2221: clear rxbuf after I2C/SMBus transfer completes
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 18:07:21 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907220721.641617-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907220721.641617-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Jiangshan Yi <yijiangshan@kylinos.cn>
[ Upstream commit db2333f88729c8aae062cb171ed058725ff5c901 ]
mcp_i2c_smbus_read() stores the caller-supplied buffer pointer in
mcp->rxbuf for the duration of a transfer but never clears it when the
transfer finishes or times out. Once the caller frees or reuses the
buffer, mcp->rxbuf becomes a dangling pointer. A delayed or spurious
MCP2221_I2C_GET_DATA report can then drive mcp2221_raw_event() to
memcpy device data into the freed memory, causing a write
use-after-free.
Route all return paths through a single exit point that clears
mcp->rxbuf and mcp->rxbuf_size, so that the existing !mcp->rxbuf guard
in the raw_event handler can reject any report arriving after the
transfer has ended.
Fixes: 67a95c21463d ("HID: mcp2221: add usb to i2c-smbus host bridge")
