Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_ncm: validate datagram bounds in ncm_unwrap_ntb()
When unpacking host-supplied NTBs, ncm_unwrap_ntb() checks datagram length
against frame_max but does not verify that the datagram fits within the
declared block length. Additionally, when decoding multiple NTBs from a
single socket buffer, subsequent block lengths are not checked against the
actual remaining buffer data.
With these checks missing, a malicious USB host can specify datagram
offsets and lengths that point beyond the block, or supply secondary NTB
headers declaring lengths larger than the buffer. skb_put_data() then
copies adjacent kernel memory from skb_shared_info into the network skb.
Fix this by verifying that sufficient buffer space remains for the NTB
header before parsing, handling zero-length block declarations, ensuring
that block lengths never exceed the remaining buffer space, and verifying
that each datagram payload stays strictly within the block boundary.
