In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: cx82310_eth: drop URB after 0xffff reboot sentinel to prevent partial_data heap overflow
The 0xffff length sentinel detects a router reboot and schedules
re-enabling of ethernet mode, but then falls through to the rest
of the loop body. The next check is
} else if (len > CX82310_MTU) {
which is the else of the just-matched if -- it never fires for
len == 0xffff. The MTU bound that normally caps the
incomplete-packet save path is silently bypassed.
With 0xffff > skb->len always true (rx_urb_size is 4096), the
incomplete-packet branch saves dev->partial_len = skb->len bytes
into dev->partial_data. partial_data is kmalloc(hard_mtu) =
kmalloc(CX82310_MTU + 2) = 1516 bytes, but skb->len after the
2-byte header pull can be up to 4094. A device that sends a
4096-byte URB starting with [0xff 0xff] therefore copies 4094
device-provided bytes into a buffer allocated for 1516 bytes,
exceeding its requested size by 2578 bytes.
The next URB then reads dev->partial_len (4094) back from the same
1516-byte buffer and dev->partial_rem (65535 - 4094 = 61441) from
the new URB's ~4KB skb, both well past their allocations, and
delivers the spliced result as a 64KB "frame" to the network
stack.
Bail out of rx_fixup after scheduling the re-enable work; the
remainder of a reboot-marker URB is not meaningful packet data.
This restores the invariant that partial_len < CX82310_MTU + 2 on
the save path, since every other route there has already passed
the MTU check.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's cx82310_eth USB Ethernet driver. An attacker connecting a malicious USB device can trigger a heap-based buffer overflow by sending crafted packets containing a reboot indicator. Because the driver fails to discard the packet after detecting the reboot signal, it bypasses packet size checks and writes data beyond allocated memory bounds. This issue can cause a system crash, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS), or potentially allow arbitrary code execution with kernel privileges.
