Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider: Pre-existing issues: - [High] Potential data race and buffer corruption on the shared `cmd_buffer` following a command timeout. - [High] Out-of-bounds read and potential information leak in debugfs handlers for vendor and product strings. -- --- Patch [1]: [PATCH v2] hwmon: (corsair-psu) serialize debugfs access against hwmon --- commit 17027f95f57d41549658af1b49c4295c03ed4860 Author: Ali Ahmet Memis <[email protected]> hwmon: (corsair-psu) serialize debugfs access against hwmon This commit adds guard(hwmon_lock) to the debugfs read paths in print_uptime() and ocpmode_show() to serialize them against the hwmon core. This prevents data races and incorrect sensor readings resulting from concurrent USB commands interleaving.

If wait_for_completion_timeout() times out in corsairpsu_usb_cmd(), the completion is left uncompleted. If the hardware later sends a delayed response, the asynchronous HID interrupt in corsairpsu_raw_event() will blindly copy the data: drivers/hwmon/corsair-psu.c:corsairpsu_raw_event() { ... memcpy(priv->cmd_buffer, data, min(CMD_BUFFER_SIZE, size)); complete(&priv->wait_completion); ... } If a new request is concurrently executing in corsairpsu_usb_cmd(), this delayed copy will race with its setup: drivers/hwmon/corsair-psu.c:corsairpsu_usb_cmd() { ... memset(priv->cmd_buffer, 0, CMD_BUFFER_SIZE); ... } [Severity: High] This is a pre-existing issue, but does this code potentially cause an out-of-bounds read and information leak in the debugfs handlers? When corsairpsu_fwinfo() fetches the vendor and product information, it copies exactly REPLY_SIZE (24) bytes from the untrusted USB device into priv->vendor and priv->product: drivers/hwmon/corsair-psu.c:corsairpsu_usb_cmd() { ... memcpy(data, priv->cmd_buffer + 2, REPLY_SIZE); ... } If a malicious device provides exactly 24 non-null characters, these strings will not be null-terminated. When seq_printf() prints them in vendor_show() and product_show(), it could read past the array bounds and leak adjacent kernel heap memory: drivers/hwmon/corsair-psu.c:vendor_show() { ... seq_printf(seqf, "%s\n", priv->vendor); ... } -- Sashiko AI review ยท https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/[email protected]?part=1
