snd_usbmidi_akai_output() computes its fill-loop bound buf_end = ep->max_transfer - MAX_AKAI_SYSEX_LEN - 1; as a signed int, so a small device-advertised bulk-OUT max_transfer makes buf_end negative. The loop guard then compares the u32 urb->transfer_buffer_length against that negative int: the usual arithmetic conversion turns buf_end into a large unsigned value, so the guard stays true and each iteration keeps appending SysEx framing and payload bytes past the end of the URB transfer buffer, which is only max_transfer bytes long. A USB device that advertises a tiny bulk-OUT endpoint can therefore trigger an attacker-length- and content-controlled heap out-of-bounds write when a process writes to the created /dev/snd/midiC*D* node. Return early when there is no room for even one SysEx, so the loop is never entered with a bound that would wrap. The loop is the last statement of the function, so bailing out is equivalent to it not running. Discovered by XBOW, triaged by Baul Lee <[email protected]> Fixes: 4434ade8c933 ("ALSA: usb-audio: add support for Akai MPD16") Suggested-by: Takashi Iwai <[email protected]> Reported-by: Federico Kirschbaum <[email protected]> Reported-by: Baul Lee <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Signed-off-by: Baul Lee <[email protected]> --- v2: use an explicit "buf_end <= 0" early return instead of casting the loop guard to int, as suggested by Takashi Iwai. Verified with the reproducer under KASAN on v7.2-rc4: without the patch the kernel reports a slab-out-of-bounds write in snd_usbmidi_akai_output(), with it the same run is clean. sound/usb/midi.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/sound/usb/midi.c b/sound/usb/midi.c index d87e3f357cf7..f8996416c3be 100644 --- a/sound/usb/midi.c +++ b/sound/usb/midi.c @@ -797,6 +797,8 @@ static void snd_usbmidi_akai_output(struct snd_usb_midi_out_endpoint *ep, msg = urb->transfer_buffer + urb->transfer_buffer_length; buf_end = ep->max_transfer - MAX_AKAI_SYSEX_LEN - 1; + if (buf_end <= 0) + return; /* only try adding more data when there's space for at least 1 SysEx */ while (urb->transfer_buffer_length < buf_end) { -- 2.50.1 (Apple Git-155)
