Additionally, when decoding multiple NTBs from a\nsingle socket buffer, subsequent block lengths are not checked against the\nactual remaining buffer data.\n\nWith these checks missing, a malicious USB host can specify datagram\noffsets and lengths that point beyond the block, or supply secondary NTB\nheaders declaring lengths larger than the buffer. skb_put_data() then\ncopies adjacent kernel memory from skb_shared_info into the network skb.\n\nFix this by verifying that sufficient buffer space remains for the NTB\nheader before parsing, handling zero-length block declarations, ensuring\nthat block lengths never exceed the remaining buffer space, and verifying\nthat each datagram payload stays strictly within the block boundary." } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux",
