Title

net: usb: cx82310_eth: drop URB after 0xffff reboot sentinel to prevent partial_data heap overflow

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: usb: cx82310_eth: drop URB after 0xffff reboot sentinel to prevent partial_data heap overflow The 0xffff length sentinel detects a router reboot and schedules re-enabling of ethernet mode, but then falls through to the rest of the loop body. The next check is } else if (len > CX82310_MTU) { which is the else of the just-matched if -- it never fires for len == 0xffff. The MTU bound that normally caps the incomplete-packet save path is silently bypassed. With 0xffff > skb->len always true (rx_urb_size is 4096), the incomplete-packet branch saves dev->partial_len = skb->len bytes into dev->partial_data. partial_data is kmalloc(hard_mtu) = kmalloc(CX82310_MTU + 2) = 1516 bytes, but skb->len after the 2-byte header pull can be up to 4094. A device that sends a 4096-byte URB starting with [0xff 0xff] therefore copies 4094 device-provided bytes into a buffer allocated for 1516 bytes, exceeding its requested size by 2578 bytes. The next URB then reads dev->partial_len (4094) back from the same 1516-byte buffer and dev->partial_rem (65535 - 4094 = 61441) from the new URB's ~4KB skb, both well past their allocations, and delivers the spliced result as a 64KB "frame" to the network stack. Bail out of rx_fixup after scheduling the re-enable work; the remainder of a reboot-marker URB is not meaningful packet data. This restores the invariant that partial_len < CX82310_MTU + 2 on the save path, since every other route there has already passed the MTU check.

The MTU bound that normally caps the\nincomplete-packet save path is silently bypassed.\n\nWith 0xffff \u003e skb-\u003elen always true (rx_urb_size is 4096), the\nincomplete-packet branch saves dev-\u003epartial_len = skb-\u003elen bytes\ninto dev-\u003epartial_data.  partial_data is kmalloc(hard_mtu) =\nkmalloc(CX82310_MTU + 2) = 1516 bytes, but skb-\u003elen after the\n2-byte header pull can be up to 4094.  A device that sends a\n4096-byte URB starting with [0xff 0xff] therefore copies 4094\ndevice-provided bytes into a buffer allocated for 1516 bytes,\nexceeding its requested size by 2578 bytes.\n\nThe next URB then reads dev-\u003epartial_len (4094) back from the same\n1516-byte buffer and dev-\u003epartial_rem (65535 - 4094 = 61441) from\nthe new URB\u0027s ~4KB skb, both well past their allocations, and\ndelivers the spliced result as a 64KB \"frame\" to the network\nstack.\n\nBail out of rx_fixup after scheduling the re-enable work; the\nremainder of a reboot-marker URB is not meaningful packet data.\nThis restores the invariant that partial_len \u003c CX82310_MTU + 2 on\nthe save path, since every other route there has already passed\nthe MTU check."

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-25 12:31 – Updated: 2026-10-03 12:31

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: usb: cx82310_eth: drop URB after 0xffff reboot sentinel to prevent partial_data heap overflow

The 0xffff length sentinel detects a router reboot and schedules re-enabling of ethernet mode, but then falls through to the rest of the loop body. The next check is

} else if (len > CX82310_MTU) {

which is the else of the just-matched if -- it never fires for len == 0xffff. The MTU bound that normally caps the incomplete-packet save path is silently bypassed.

With 0xffff > skb->len always true (rx_urb_size is 4096), the incomplete-packet branch saves dev->partial_len = skb->len bytes into dev->partial_data. partial_data is kmalloc(hard_mtu) = kmalloc(CX82310_MTU + 2) = 1516 bytes, but skb->len after the 2-byte header pull can be up to 4094. A device that sends a 4096-byte URB starting with [0xff 0xff] therefore copies 4094 device-provided bytes into a buffer allocated for 1516 bytes, exceeding its requested size by 2578 bytes.

The next URB then reads dev->partial_len (4094) back from the same 1516-byte buffer and dev->partial_rem (65535 - 4094 = 61441) from the new URB's ~4KB skb, both well past their allocations, and delivers the spliced result as a 64KB "frame" to the network stack.

Bail out of rx_fixup after scheduling the re-enable work; the remainder of a reboot-marker URB is not meaningful packet data. This restores the invariant that partial_len < CX82310_MTU + 2 on the save path, since every other route there has already passed the MTU check.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
