Subject: [PATCH] usb: gadget: ncm: validate the NDP chain before parsing
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 01:11:11 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915041111.2429236-1-qwe.aldo@gmail.com> (raw)
The next-NDP pointers form a chain supplied by the USB host. A cyclic
chain therefore makes the receive path loop indefinitely and repeatedly
allocate datagram skbs.
Prewalk the chain using only bounded header reads before parsing any
NDP. NDP offsets must be four-byte aligned, so following more than
block_len / 4 valid offsets proves that the chain contains a cycle.
This terminates cyclic chains without imposing an arbitrary limit on
valid NTBs or allocating skbs before the chain is known to terminate.
Fixes: 370af734dfaf ("usb: gadget: NCM: RX function support multiple NDPs")
