In usb_serial_generic_submit_read_urb() function we are accessing the
port->read_urbs array without any boundry checks. This might lead to
kernel panic when index value goes above array length.
One posible call path for this issue is,
usb_serial_generic_read_bulk_callback()
{
...
if (!port->throttled) {
usb_serial_generic_submit_read_urb(port, i, GFP_ATOMIC);
...
}
How does i ever get to be greater than the array size here in this
function? It directly came from looking in that array in the first
place :)
So I don't see why your check is needed, what other code path would ever
call this function in a way that the bounds check would be needed?
void usb_serial_generic_read_bulk_callback(struct urb *urb)
385 for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(port->read_urbs); ++i) {
386 if (urb == port->read_urbs[i])
387 break;
388 }
In here, after this for loop is done (without any matching urb), i value
will be equal to ARRAY_SIZE(port->read_urbs). So there is a possibility
of usb_serial_generic_submit_read_urb() getting called with this invalid
index.
