usb: gadget: uvc: Prevent buffer overflow in setup handler

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.27% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 06fd17ee92c8f1704c7e54ec0fd50ae0542a49a5, 4972e3528b968665b596b5434764ff8fd9446d35, 4c92670b16727365699fe4b19ed32013bab2c107.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 06fd17ee92c8f1704c7e54ec0fd50ae0542a49a5, 4972e3528b968665b596b5434764ff8fd9446d35, 4c92670b16727365699fe4b19ed32013bab2c107 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: uvc: Prevent buffer overflow in setup handler Setup function uvc_function_setup permits control transfer requests with up to 64 bytes of payload (UVC_MAX_REQUEST_SIZE), data stage handler for OUT transfer uses memcpy to copy req->actual bytes to uvc_event->data.data array of size 60. This may result in an overflow of 4 bytes.

Root cause

When data is copied, the source length is not compared with the size of the destination buffer. Excess data overwrites adjacent memory.
