Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usbnet: gl620a: fix out-of-bounds read in genelink_rx_fixup()
genelink_rx_fixup() splits an aggregated RX frame into its individual
packets, using a per-packet length taken from device-supplied data. That
length is only bounded by GL_MAX_PACKET_LEN (1514); it is never compared
against how many bytes were actually received.
A malicious GeneLink (GL620A) device can therefore send a short URB whose
header claims packet_count > 1 and a first packet of up to 1514 bytes.
skb_put_data(gl_skb, packet->packet_data, size);
then copies past the end of the receive buffer and hands the adjacent slab
contents up the network stack, an out-of-bounds read that leaks kernel heap.
No privilege is required: the path runs in the usbnet RX softirq as soon as
the interface is up.
