Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] ALSA: usbusx2y: validate URB actual_length in interrupt callback
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 20:58:26 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904205826.4071119-2-tristmd@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904205826.4071119-1-tristmd@gmail.com>
From: Tristan Madani <tristan@talencesecurity.com>
i_usx2y_in04_int() processes the interrupt URB data without checking
urb->actual_length. A short transfer from a malfunctioning device
would cause the handler to process uninitialized heap data from the
kmalloc-allocated in04_buf, which is then copied to the mmap-accessible
ctl_snapshot[] array.
Fix by using kzalloc() for in04_buf to zero-initialize the buffer,
and adding an actual_length check to skip processing on short
transfers while still resubmitting the URB.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
