[PATCH RFC] media: ttusb-dec: fix buffer overflow in ttusb_dec_send_command()

"syzbot" <[email protected]>
Newsgroups dev.linux.lists.syzbot
Message-ID <[email protected]>
The ttusb_dec_send_command() function allocates a 64-byte buffer
(COMMAND_PACKET_SIZE + 4) for USB communication. After receiving a
response, it reads the payload length from b[3] (which is fully controlled
by the USB device) and copies the payload into the caller-provided
cmd_result buffer. There are two missing bounds checks. First, b[3] can be
up to 255, exceeding the 60-byte payload capacity of the allocated buffer,
leading to an out-of-bounds read. Second, the size of cmd_result is not
passed to the function, so a large b[3] can cause a buffer overflow in the
destination buffer (e.g., a 4-byte buffer in
ttusbdecfe_dvbt_read_status()).

This can result in a fortify panic:

memcpy: detected buffer overflow: 75 byte read of buffer size 60
WARNING: lib/string_helpers.c:1037 at __fortify_report+0xa0/0xb8
lib/string_helpers.c:1036

Fix this by adding a cmd_result_len parameter to ttusb_dec_send_command()
and the send_command callback in ttusbdecfe_config. Update all callers to
pass the correct buffer size. Inside ttusb_dec_send_command(), validate
param_length, ensure actual_len is at least 4 bytes, and check that b[3]
does not exceed COMMAND_PACKET_SIZE, actual_len - 4, or cmd_result_len.
