Summary

In the Linux kernel, the usb: gadget: f_ncm driver's ncm_unwrap_ntb() does not verify that a datagram fits within the declared block length, allowing a malicious USB host to cause an out-of-bounds read of kernel memory.

Risk Assessment

A malicious USB host can exploit this to read adjacent kernel memory, potentially leading to disclosure of sensitive information or system crash.

Recommendation

Apply a kernel patch that adds boundary validation for NTB headers and datagram lengths.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: f_ncm: validate datagram bounds in ncm_unwrap_ntb() When unpacking host-supplied NTBs, ncm_unwrap_ntb() checks datagram length against frame_max but does not verify that the datagram fits within the declared block length. Additionally, when decoding multiple NTBs from a single socket buffer, subsequent block lengths are not checked against the actual remaining buffer data. With these checks missing, a malicious USB host can specify datagram offsets and lengths that point beyond the block, or supply secondary NTB headers declaring lengths larger than the buffer. skb_put_data() then copies adjacent kernel memory from skb_shared_info into the network skb. Fix this by verifying that sufficient buffer space remains for the NTB header before parsing, handling zero-length block declarations, ensuring that block lengths never exceed the remaining buffer space, and verifying that each datagram payload stays strictly within the block boundary.
