Summary

In the Linux kernel, the peak_usb driver for CAN bus added bounds checking for the USB channel index. The ctrl_idx index comes from USB data and can take values 0-15, but the usb_if->dev[] array has only 2 elements, leading to heap out-of-bounds read and kernel panic in IRQ context.

Risk Assessment

Out-of-bounds read can cause kernel panic, leading to system crashes and potential denial of service.

Recommendation

Apply the kernel patch adding bounds checking for ctrl_idx before array access in pcan_usb_pro_handle_canmsg() and pcan_usb_pro_handle_error().

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: peak_usb: add bounds check for USB channel index The channel control index ctrl_idx is derived from rx->len which comes directly from a device USB payload. The mask 0x0f allows values 0-15, but the array size of usb_if->dev[] is only 2. Values 2-15 cause heap out-of-bounds read, eventually causing kernel panic in the IRQ context. Add bounds checking for ctrl_idx before the array access in both pcan_usb_pro_handle_canmsg() and pcan_usb_pro_handle_error().
