Summary

In the cdc_ncm driver (Linux kernel), the cdc_ncm_rx_verify_ndp16() function omitted ndpoffset in the second bounds check for the DPE array. When the NDP is near the end of the buffer, out-of-bounds read may occur.

Risk Assessment

Malicious network traffic can cause an out-of-bounds buffer read, potentially leading to data leak or system crash.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that adds ndpoffset to the nframes bounds check in cdc_ncm_rx_verify_ndp16().

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: usb: cdc_ncm: add ndpoffset to NDP16 nframes bounds check cdc_ncm_rx_verify_ndp16() validates that the NDP header and its DPE entries fit within the skb. The first check correctly accounts for ndpoffset: if ((ndpoffset + sizeof(struct usb_cdc_ncm_ndp16)) > skb_in->len) but the second check omits it: if ((sizeof(struct usb_cdc_ncm_ndp16) + ret * (sizeof(struct usb_cdc_ncm_dpe16))) > skb_in->len) This validates the DPE array size against the total skb length as if the NDP were at offset 0, rather than at ndpoffset. When the NDP is placed near the end of the NTB (large wNdpIndex), the DPE entries can extend past the skb data buffer even though the check passes. cdc_ncm_rx_fixup() then reads out-of-bounds memory when iterating the DPE array. Add ndpoffset to the nframes bounds check and use struct_size_t() to express the NDP-plus-DPE-array size more clearly.
