Summary

In the Linux kernel, the USB: serial: io_edgeport driver's edge_interrupt_callback() adds a 16-bit transmit credit value to txCredits without checking maxTxCredits, potentially leading to an out-of-bounds write in the ring buffer.

Risk Assessment

A device can report inflated credits, leading to an out-of-bounds write, which could result in system crash or potential code execution.

Recommendation

Apply a kernel patch that caps accumulated credits at maxTxCredits.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: USB: serial: io_edgeport: cap received transmit credits The interrupt-status packet reports transmit credits returned by the device. edge_interrupt_callback() adds the 16-bit value to txCredits without checking maxTxCredits. edge_write() uses txCredits minus the software FIFO count as the amount of data that fits. Since the FIFO is allocated with maxTxCredits bytes, txCredits exceeding maxTxCredits can cause OOB write in ring buffer. Cap accumulated credits at maxTxCredits. Conforming devices should never hit the cap.
