CVE-2023-52866: HID: uclogic: Fix user-memory-access bug in uclogic_params_ugee_v2_init_event_hooks()

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 28/100)

  • 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: 0.22% (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 64da1f6147dac7f8499d4937a0d7ea990bf569e8, 6c8f953728d75104d994893f58801c457274335a, 91cfe0bbaa1c434d4271eb6e1d7aaa1fe8d121f6.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 64da1f6147dac7f8499d4937a0d7ea990bf569e8, 6c8f953728d75104d994893f58801c457274335a, 91cfe0bbaa1c434d4271eb6e1d7aaa1fe8d121f6 or later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: uclogic: Fix user-memory-access bug in uclogic_params_ugee_v2_init_event_hooks() When CONFIG_HID_UCLOGIC=y and CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=y, launch kernel and then the below user-memory-access bug occurs. In hid_test_uclogic_params_cleanup_event_hooks(),it call uclogic_params_ugee_v2_init_event_hooks() with the first arg=NULL, so when it calls uclogic_params_ugee_v2_has_battery(), the hid_get_drvdata() will access hdev->dev with hdev=NULL, which will cause below user-memory-access. So add a fake_device with quirks member and call hid_set_drvdata() to assign hdev->dev->driver_data which avoids the null-ptr-def bug for drvdata->quirks in uclogic_params_ugee_v2_has_battery(). After applying this patch, the below user-memory-access bug never occurs. general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000329: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN KASAN: probably user-memory-access in range [0x0000000000001948-0x000000000000194f] CPU: 5 PID: 2189 Comm: kunit_try_catch Tainted: G B W N 6.6.0-rc2+ #30 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.15.0-1 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:uclogic_params_ugee_v2_init_event_hooks+0x87/0x600 Code: f3 f3 65 48 8b 14 25 28 00 00 00 48 89 54 24 60 31 d2 48 89 fa c7 44 24 30 00 00 00 00 48 c7 44 24 28 02 f8 02 01 48 c1 ea 03 <80> 3c 02 00 0f 85 2c 04 00 00 48 8b 9d 48 19 00 00 48 b8 00 00 00 RSP: 0000:ffff88810679fc88 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: 0000000000000004 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000329 RSI: ffff88810679fd88 RDI: 0000000000001948 RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: ffffed1020f639f0 R10: ffff888107b1cf87 R11: 0000000000000400 R12: 1ffff11020cf3f92 R13: ffff88810679fd88 R14: ffff888100b97b08 R15: ffff8881030bb080 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff888119e80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 0000000005286001 CR4: 0000000000770ee0 DR0: ffffffff8fdd6cf4 DR1: ffffffff8fdd6cf5 DR2: ffffffff8fdd6cf6 DR3: ffffffff8fdd6cf7 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000600 PKRU: 55555554 Call Trace: <TASK> ? die_addr+0x3d/0xa0 ? exc_general_protection+0x144/0x220 ? asm_exc_general_protection+0x22/0x30 ? uclogic_params_ugee_v2_init_event_hooks+0x87/0x600 ? sched_clock_cpu+0x69/0x550 ? uclogic_parse_ugee_v2_desc_gen_params+0x70/0x70 ? load_balance+0x2950/0x2950 ? rcu_trc_cmpxchg_need_qs+0x67/0xa0 hid_test_uclogic_params_cleanup_event_hooks+0x9e/0x1a0 ? uclogic_params_ugee_v2_init_event_hooks+0x600/0x600 ? __switch_to+0x5cf/0xe60 ? migrate_enable+0x260/0x260 ? __kthread_parkme+0x83/0x150 ? kunit_try_run_case_cleanup+0xe0/0xe0 kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter+0x4a/0x90 ? kunit_try_catch_throw+0x80/0x80 kthread+0x2b5/0x380 ? kthread_complete_and_exit+0x20/0x20 ret_from_fork+0x2d/0x70 ? kthread_complete_and_exit+0x20/0x20 ret_from_fork_asm+0x11/0x20 </TASK> Modules linked in: Dumping ftrace buffer: (ftrace buffer empty) ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- RIP: 0010:uclogic_params_ugee_v2_init_event_hooks+0x87/0x600 Code: f3 f3 65 48 8b 14 25 28 00 00 00 48 89 54 24 60 31 d2 48 89 fa c7 44 24 30 00 00 00 00 48 c7 44 24 28 02 f8 02 01 48 c1 ea 03 <80> 3c 02 00 0f 85 2c 04 00 00 48 8b 9d 48 19 00 00 48 b8 00 00 00 RSP: 0000:ffff88810679fc88 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: 0000000000000004 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000329 RSI: ffff88810679fd88 RDI: 0000000000001948 RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: ffffed1020f639f0 R10: ffff888107b1cf87 R11: 0000000000000400 R12: 1ffff11020cf3f92 R13: ffff88810679fd88 R14: ffff888100b97b08 R15: ffff8881030bb080 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff888119e80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 0000000005286001 CR4: 0000000000770ee0 DR0: ffffffff8fdd6cf4 DR1: ---truncated---

No known public exploit

No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.

Research context

For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.

Timeline

From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.

No dated events beyond publication.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
