Subject: [PATCH 1/2] can: kvaser_usb: hydra: reject commands shorter than the header
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 03:56:42 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110-kvaser-usb-validate-v1-1-f266b85aa908@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110-kvaser-usb-validate-v1-0-f266b85aa908@gmail.com>
From: Joas Antonio dos Santos <joasantonio108@gmail.com>
kvaser_usb_hydra_cmd_size() returns the length field supplied by the
device for extended commands. Both command parsers advance through the
received buffer by that length:
kvaser_usb_hydra_wait_cmd() pos += cmd_len;
kvaser_usb_hydra_read_bulk_callback() pos += cmd_len;
Neither checks that the length is non-zero. A device that sends an
extended command (cmd_no == CMD_EXTENDED) with a length of zero keeps
pos unchanged, so the loop never terminates. In
kvaser_usb_hydra_read_bulk_callback() this happens in the URB completion
handler, which also calls kvaser_usb_hydra_handle_cmd() on the same
command in every iteration, and locks up the CPU. In
kvaser_usb_hydra_wait_cmd() the loop spins in process context without
ever reaching the timeout check.
A command can never be shorter than its header, so treat a shorter
length as a format error in both parsers.
A similar infinite loop in the leaf command parsers was fixed in
commit 0c73772cd2b8 ("can: kvaser_usb: leaf: Fix potential infinite loop in command parsers").
Found by LLM-assisted source review.
Fixes: aec5fb2268b7 ("can: kvaser_usb: Add support for Kvaser USB hydra family")
