Technical description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: composite: fix integer underflow in WebUSB GET_URL handling
The WebUSB GET_URL handler in composite_setup() narrows
landing_page_length to fit the host-supplied wLength using
landing_page_length = w_length
- WEBUSB_URL_DESCRIPTOR_HEADER_LENGTH + landing_page_offset;
If wLength is smaller than WEBUSB_URL_DESCRIPTOR_HEADER_LENGTH the
unsigned subtraction wraps, and the subsequent
memcpy(url_descriptor->URL,
cdev->landing_page + landing_page_offset,
landing_page_length - landing_page_offset);
ends up copying close to UINT_MAX bytes from cdev->landing_page into
cdev->req->buf. KASAN reports a slab-out-of-bounds in composite_setup
on the kmalloc-2k gadget_info allocation, and FORTIFY_SOURCE traps the
memcpy as a 4294967293-byte field-spanning write into
url_descriptor->URL (size 252).
A USB host can reach this from a single SETUP packet against any
gadget that has webusb/use=1 and a
