CVE-2024-38567 MEDIUM

Published: 2024-06-19 | Last Modified: 2026-05-12 | Status: Modified

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: carl9170: add a proper sanity check for endpoints Syzkaller reports [1] hitting a warning which is caused by presence of a wrong endpoint type at the URB sumbitting stage. While there was a check for a specific 4th endpoint, since it can switch types between bulk and interrupt, other endpoints are trusted implicitly. Similar warning is triggered in a couple of other syzbot issues [2]. Fix the issue by doing a comprehensive check of all endpoints taking into account difference between high- and full-speed configuration. [1] Syzkaller report: ... WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 4721 at drivers/usb/core/urb.c:504 usb_submit_urb+0xed6/0x1880 drivers/usb/core/urb.c:504 ...

Additional Descriptions (1)

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: wifi: carl9170: agregue una verificación de integridad adecuada para los endpoints Syzkaller informa [1] que aparece una advertencia causada por la presencia de un tipo de endpoint incorrecto en la etapa de envío de URB. Si bien hubo una verificación para un cuarto endpoint específico, dado que puede cambiar de tipo entre masivo e interrupción, se confía implícitamente en otros endpoints. Se activa una advertencia similar en un par de otros problemas de syzbot [2]. Solucione el problema realizando una verificación exhaustiva de todos los endpoints teniendo en cuenta la diferencia entre la configuración de alta y máxima velocidad. [1] Informe de Syzkaller: ...
