Vulnerability overview

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: ua101: reject mismatched capture/playback packet sizes detect_usb_format() cross-checks bSubframeSize, bBitResolution and tSamFreq between the capture and playback interfaces, but never relates the two endpoints' wMaxPacketSize and bNrChannels. Each playback URB gets a buffer of ua->playback.max_packet_bytes, while the number of bytes written into it is derived from the capture stream: capture_urb_complete() computes frames from the received capture packet and capture.frame_bytes, and start_usb_playback() and playback_work() multiply that by playback.frame_bytes. A device declaring a large capture wMaxPacketSize with few capture channels and a small playback wMaxPacketSize with many playback channels therefore memset()s and memcpy()s past the end of the playback buffer, in open() of the PCM node the driver registers during probe. usb_submit_urb() rejects the over-long iso_frame_desc[0].length with -EMSGSIZE, but only after the write. Reject such descriptors at probe time. Genuine UA-101/UA-1000 hardware declares proportional packet sizes and is unaffected. BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in start_usb_playback (sound/usb/misc/ua101.c:586) Write of size 2048 at addr ffff8881098f3c00 by task exploit/5021 Call Trace: __asan_memset (mm/kasan/shadow.c:84) start_usb_playback (sound/usb/misc/ua101.c:586) playback_pcm_open (sound/usb/misc/ua101.c:679) snd_pcm_open_substream (sound/core/pcm_native.c:2829) snd_pcm_open (sound/core/pcm_native.c:2865 sound/core/pcm_native.c:2932) snd_pcm_playback_open (sound/core/pcm_native.c:2891) snd_open (sound/core/sound.c:166) chrdev_open (fs/char_dev.c:411) do_dentry_open (fs/open.c:996) vfs_open (fs/open.c:1101) path_openat (fs/namei.c:4837 fs/namei.c:5000) do_file_open (fs/namei.c:5029) do_sys_openat2 (fs/open.c:1417) __x64_sys_openat (fs/open.c:1423 fs/open.c:1439 fs/open.c:1434) do_syscall_64 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:61 arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:84) entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:121) The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff8881098f3c00 which belongs to the cache kmalloc-192 of size 192 The buggy address is located 0 bytes inside of allocated 168-byte region [ffff8881098f3c00, ffff8881098f3ca8)
