[PATCH 3.4 25/45] USB: whiteheat: Added bounds checking for bulk command response

From: Zefan Li <lizf@kernel.org>
Date: 2014-09-23 02:39:49
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest, usb serial subsystem, usb subsystem · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Johan Hovold, Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: James Forshaw <redacted>

3.4.104-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

commit 6817ae225cd650fb1c3295d769298c38b1eba818 upstream.

This patch fixes a potential security issue in the whiteheat USB driver
which might allow a local attacker to cause kernel memory corrpution. This
is due to an unchecked memcpy into a fixed size buffer (of 64 bytes). On
EHCI and XHCI busses it's possible to craft responses greater than 64
bytes leading a buffer overflow.
