Subject: [BUG] general protection fault in su3000_i2c_transfer
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 17:22:38 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAOU40uDkU0mUvnBv_J7CWPfG-RAtYo579JnF_OezDSu7LPig_g@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi media maintainers/developers,,
I am reporting a general protection fault in the DVB USB dw2102 driver
that is reproducible on Linux 7.2-rc3.
The reproducer connects a crafted USB DVB device through dummy_hcd and
then issues an I2C_RDWR ioctl through the i2c-dev interface. The I2C
message passed to the adapter has no data buffer / invalid length, but it
still reaches the su3000_i2c_transfer() callback.
The crash happens when su3000_i2c_transfer() dereferences the I2C message
buffer without first validating that the message has a valid buffer and a
sufficient length:
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000010-0x0000000000000017]
RIP: su3000_i2c_transfer+0x549/0xdb0
The relevant call trace is:
su3000_i2c_transfer
__i2c_transfer
i2c_transfer
i2cdev_ioctl_rdwr
i2cdev_ioctl
__x64_sys_ioctl
do_syscall_64
The syzkaller reproducer sends the following I2C_RDWR request after the
USB device has been created:
ioctl$I2C_RDWR(fd, I2C_RDWR, {
msgs = [{ addr = 0x1a00, flags = 0x9211, len = 0, buf = NULL }],
nmsgs = 1
})
This looks similar to the existing syzbot report for
su3000_i2c_transfer(), but I wanted to provide a fresh reproduction on the
current kernel I tested:
Kernel version: 7.2.0-rc3
HEAD commit: 1137d8b5df06137fb49513cc923b3b24d94cb809
Full console log, syzkaller reproducer, and kernel config are attached
below.

Thanks for taking a look.
