Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] usb: host: max3421: Fix shift-out-of-bounds in max3421_hub_control()
Date: Sun, 17 May 2026 15:03:07 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260517190308.1876316-1-eeodqql09@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260517000145.1868817-2-eeodqql09@gmail.com>

From: Seungjin Bae <eeodqql09@gmail.com>

The `max3421_hub_control()` function handles USB hub class requests
to the virtual root hub. In the `default` branches of both the
`ClearPortFeature` and `SetPortFeature` switch statements, it modifies
`max3421_hcd->port_status` by left shifting 1 by the request's `value`
parameter. However, it does not validate whether this shift will exceed
the width of `port_status`.

So if a malicious userspace task with access to the root hub via
/dev/bus/usb/.../001 issues a USBDEVFS_CONTROL ioctl with `wValue`
greater than or equal to 32, the left shift operation invokes
shift-out-of-bounds undefined behavior. This results in arbitrary
bit corruption of `port_status`, including the normally-immutable
change bits, which can bypass internal state checks and confuse the
hub status.

Fix this by rejecting requests whose `value` exceeds the shift width
before performing the shift.

Fixes: 2d53139f3162 ("Add support for using a MAX3421E chip as a host driver.")
