CVE-2025-21704 HIGH

Published: 2025-02-22 | Last Modified: 2026-05-12 | Status: Modified

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: cdc-acm: Check control transfer buffer size before access If the first fragment is shorter than struct usb_cdc_notification, we can't calculate an expected_size. Log an error and discard the notification instead of reading lengths from memory outside the received data, which can lead to memory corruption when the expected_size decreases between fragments, causing `expected_size - acm->nb_index` to wrap. This issue has been present since the beginning of git history; however, it only leads to memory corruption since commit ea2583529cd1 ("cdc-acm: reassemble fragmented notifications"). A mitigating factor is that acm_ctrl_irq() can only execute after userspace has opened /dev/ttyACM*; but if ModemManager is running, ModemManager will do that automatically depending on the USB device's vendor/product IDs and its other interfaces.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: usb: cdc-acm: Verificar el tamaño del búfer de transferencia de control antes del acceso Si el primer fragmento es más corto que struct usb_cdc_notification, no podemos calcular un expected_size. Registra un error y descarta la notificación en lugar de leer longitudes de la memoria fuera de los datos recibidos, lo que puede provocar una corrupción de la memoria cuando el expected_size disminuye entre fragmentos, lo que hace que `expected_size - acm->nb_index` se ajuste. Este problema ha estado presente desde el comienzo de la historia de git; sin embargo, solo conduce a la corrupción de la memoria desde el commit ea2583529cd1 ("cdc-acm: reensamblar notificaciones fragmentadas"). Un factor atenuante es que acm_ctrl_irq() solo se puede ejecutar después de que el espacio de usuario haya abierto /dev/ttyACM*; pero si ModemManager se está ejecutando, ModemManager lo hará automáticamente dependiendo de los ID de proveedor/producto del dispositivo USB y sus otras interfaces.
