In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usbnet: gl620a: fix out-of-bounds read in genelink_rx_fixup() genelink_rx_fixup() splits an aggregated RX frame into its individual packets, using a per-packet length taken from device-supplied data. That length is only bounded by GL_MAX_PACKET_LEN (1514); it is never compared against how many bytes were actually received. A malicious GeneLink (GL620A) device can therefore send a short URB whose header claims packet_count > 1 and a first packet of up to 1514 bytes. skb_put_data(gl_skb, packet->packet_data, size); then copies past the end of the receive buffer and hands the adjacent slab contents up the network stack, an out-of-bounds read that leaks kernel heap. No privilege is required: the path runs in the usbnet RX softirq as soon as the interface is up.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's GeneLink (GL620A) USB network driver. A malicious GeneLink device can send specially crafted Universal Serial Bus (USB) packets that cause an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. This can lead to the disclosure of sensitive kernel memory, potentially revealing confidential system information. No special privileges are required for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability.
