In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_ncm: Use unsigned int for ndp_index
The variable ndp_index is declared as a signed integer, but it stores
the return value of get_ncm(), which is unsigned.
A malicious host can supply a large offset that overflows the signed
ndp_index, making it negative. Because ndp_index is compared against
unsigned bounds, this negative value bypasses sanity checks and leads
to an out-of-bounds read when calculating the address of the NDP
block (ntb_ptr + ndp_index).
Fix this by changing ndp_index to unsigned int to ensure consistent
unsigned comparisons throughout the function.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's USB gadget NCM (Network Control Model) function (f_ncm). A malicious host can exploit an integer overflow vulnerability by supplying a large offset. This overflow causes a signed index variable to become negative, bypassing security checks and leading to an out-of-bounds read. This could result in information disclosure from kernel memory.
