It\ncopies the caller-supplied report into that buffer:\n\n memcpy(write_buf->content, report_buf, report_buf_len);\n\nThe HID core caps a report at HID_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE (16384) by default, and\nquickspi_hid_ll_driver does not set max_buffer_size, so the length reaches\nthe driver unbounded. A hidraw SET_REPORT/SET_FEATURE ioctl carrying a\nreport larger than max_report_len therefore overflows report_buf with\nattacker-controlled length and content.\n\nRecord the report_buf allocation size and reject reports that do not fit\nbefore copying, matching the equivalent guard in the intel-quicki2c\nsibling (quicki2c_init_write_buf()) and the hid-goodix-spi fix.\n\nwrite_cmd_to_txdma() writes the output report header ahead of the content\nin the same buffer, so size the allocation to cover the header as well.\nThat keeps the added bound from rejecting a maximum-sized report." } ], "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "baseScore": 7.8, "baseSeverity": "HIGH" }, "scenarios": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "AV:L - An unprivileged local process reaches write_cmd_to_txdma() via hidraw write() or HIDIOCSOUTPUT/HIDIOCSFEATURE ioctls on the Intel THC HIDSPI touch controller's /dev/hidraw node; this is an onboard PCI device, not a network or USB-plug path.\nAC:L - A single SET_REPORT/SET_FEATURE with a length between the device-descriptor max_report_len (typically a few hundred bytes) and HID_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE (16384) deterministically overflows report_buf with attacker-chosen bytes; no race or uninfluenced condition is required.\nPR:L - hidraw_open() performs no capability or namespace checks, and systemd uaccess grants the seated user access to /dev/hidraw*, so a normal unprivileged local account can trigger the overflow.\nUI:N - The attacker opens the hidraw node and issues the ioctl or write themselves; no separate victim action is required.\nS:U - The overflow corrupts kernel heap in the host HID/THC driver and any resulting privilege escalation stays within the same kernel security authority.\nC:H - The memcpy writes attacker-controlled data past a small heap buffer (up to ~16KB), which can corrupt adjacent objects and be turned into an arbitrary kernel read primitive.\nI:H - The same attacker-controlled heap overflow can overwrite neighboring heap metadata and objects, enabling an arbitrary write and kernel control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Out-of-bounds heap writes of this size reliably cause kernel oops, panic, or SLUB corruption, and the request can be repeated at will." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/hid/intel-thc-hid/intel-quickspi/pci-quickspi.c", "drivers/hid/intel-thc-hid/intel-quickspi/quickspi-dev.h", "drivers/hid/intel-thc-hid/intel-quickspi/quickspi-protocol.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "9d8d51735a3af40b722346931a6a1e50227df4b5", "lessThan": "6fcefe71aeb524f6e77fe586fe85d873745e917c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "9d8d51735a3af40b722346931a6a1e50227df4b5", "lessThan": "ee8ad1bb1e96164d51089b1182f1bd5f187e7baa", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "9d8d51735a3af40b722346931a6a1e50227df4b5", "lessThan": "a59cf84441f9a17323c89452cec2bf16724c48a9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/hid/intel-thc-hid/intel-quickspi/pci-quickspi.c", "drivers/hid/intel-thc-hid/intel-quickspi/quickspi-dev.h", "drivers/hid/intel-thc-hid/intel-quickspi/quickspi-protocol.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.14", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.14", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.50", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.14", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.50" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.14", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.4" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.14", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6fcefe71aeb524f6e77fe586fe85d873745e917c" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ee8ad1bb1e96164d51089b1182f1bd5f187e7baa" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a59cf84441f9a17323c89452cec2bf16724c48a9" } ], "title": "HID: intel-thc-hid: intel-quickspi: validate report size before copy", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
