From: Benjamin Tissoires <benjamin.tissoires@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 8821f5dc187bdf16cfb32ef5aa8c3035273fa79a upstream. When working on report indexes, always validate that they are in bounds. Without this, a HID device could report a malicious feature report that could trick the driver into a heap overflow: [ 634.885003] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0596, idProduct=0500 ... [ 676.469629] BUG kmalloc-192 (Tainted: G W ): Redzone overwritten Note that we need to change the indexes from s8 to s16 as they can be between -1 and 255.
