Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: USB: serial: belkin_sa: validate interrupt status length The Belkin interrupt callback treats interrupt data as a four-byte status report and reads LSR/MSR fields at offsets 2 and 3. The interrupt-in buffer length is derived from endpoint wMaxPacketSize, and short interrupt transfers may complete successfully with a smaller actual_length. Check the completed interrupt packet length before parsing status fields so short interrupt endpoints and short successful packets are ignored instead of causing out-of-bounds or stale status-byte reads. KASAN report as below: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in belkin_sa_read_int_callback() Read of size 1 Call trace: belkin_sa_read_int_callback() (drivers/usb/serial/belkin_sa.c:202) __usb_hcd_giveback_urb() (drivers/usb/core/hcd.c:1630) dummy_timer() (?:?)
