Subject: [PATCH 5/7] usb: storage: sddr09: bound the unused PBA search
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 15:40:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027-llm-usb-storage-v1-5-d1655e94ed10@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261027-llm-usb-storage-v1-0-d1655e94ed10@linuxfoundation.org>
From: Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com>
sddr09_find_unused_pba() can read past the end of pba_to_lba[] and hand
out a physical block that does not exist on the card, which is then
recorded in pba_to_lba[] past its end and written to.
The search resumes from lastpba, a function-local static shared by all
SDDR-09 readers and kept across card changes. The first loop is bounded
by end, the number of blocks in the zone, but the wrap-around loop only
by lastpba:
for (i = 0; i <= lastpba; i++) {
if (info->pba_to_lba[zonestart+i] == UNDEF) {
After a write to a card with 1024 blocks per zone has left lastpba at,
say, 700, writing to a 1MB card (256 blocks) whose blocks are all in use
walks pba_to_lba[] from index 256 to 700. If any of those out-of-bounds
words reads as UNDEF, sddr09_write_lba() stores into pba_to_lba[pba]
and goes on to program that bogus block.
The bug was found by code inspection and has not been reproduced.
Fix by also stopping the wrap-around loop at the end of the zone.
