[PATCH v4] usb: gadget: f_uvc: fix Extension Unit descriptor heap overflow
Posted by Haofeng Li 1 month ago
An Extension Unit descriptor is 24 + bNrInPins + bControlSize bytes long
(UVC_DT_EXTENSION_UNIT_SIZE(p, n)), where bNrInPins and bControlSize are
configfs attributes each accepted over the full 0..255 range by
kstrtou8().  uvc_configfs stores the computed size in the u8 bLength
field of the descriptor, so once 24 + p + n exceeds 255 it silently
wraps: p = n = 255 describes a 534-byte descriptor with bLength = 22.

uvc_copy_descriptors() reserves xu->desc.bLength bytes per Extension Unit
in the descriptor buffer it allocates at bind time, but
UVC_COPY_XU_DESCRIPTOR() copies the real descriptor contents, i.e.
22 + bNrInPins + 1 + bControlSize + 1 bytes.  With the wrapped length the
copy overruns the allocation by up to 512 bytes.

Attack chain (write access to a UVC gadget's configfs attributes; no
race, no USB traffic, a single bind triggers it):

    echo 255 > .../functions/uvc.0/extensions/ext.0/b_nr_in_pins
    echo 255 > .../functions/uvc.0/extensions/ext.0/b_control_size
      -> uvcg_extension_b_nr_in_pins_store() /
         uvcg_extension_b_control_size_store()
      -> bLength = UVC_DT_EXTENSION_UNIT_SIZE(255, 255) wraps to 22
    bind the gadget to a UDC
      -> uvc_function_bind() -> uvc_copy_descriptors()
      -> kmalloc() sized using the wrapped bLength: 22 bytes for the XU
      -> UVC_COPY_XU_DESCRIPTOR() writes the real 534 bytes into that
         slot (22-byte head, 255 baSourceID, bControlSize, 255
         bmControls, iExtension)
      -> heap out-of-bounds write during bind

Reproduced on 7.2.0+: a stock build (FORTIFY on) can derive the remaining
allocation size at the bmControls memcpy and BUGs in __fortify_panic()
during bind - a deterministic kernel crash; with FORTIFY disabled for the
file, KASAN reports "slab-out-of-bounds Write of size 255" in
uvc_copy_descriptors() against the kmalloc-192 descriptor buffer.

Reject combinations whose descriptor does not fit into bLength at all four
configfs entry points that can grow an Extension Unit (b_nr_in_pins,
b_control_size, ba_source_id, bm_controls), and make uvc_copy_descriptors()
refuse an Extension Unit whose bLength does not match its contents instead
of overflowing the buffer.

Changes in v2:
- reword a comment per Randy Dunlap: "The descriptor length must fit
  into the one-byte bLength field".

Changes in v3:
- Add a warning message when the descriptor size is rejected, as suggested
  by Dan Scally.

Changes in v4:
- Remove the blank line inside the sign-off block.
