Descriptions

The function hso_get_config_data in drivers/net/usb/hso.c in the Linux kernel through 4.19.8 reads if_num from the USB device (as a u8) and uses it to index a small array, resulting in an object out-of-bounds (OOB) read that potentially allows arbitrary read in the kernel address space.

La función hso_get_config_data en drivers/net/usb/hso.c en el kernel de Linux, hasta la versión 4.19.8, lee if_num desde el dispositivo USB (como un u8) y lo emplea para indexar un array pequeño, lo que resulta en una lectura de objetos fuera de límites (OOB) que podría permitir la lectura arbitraria en el espacio de direcciones del kernel.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in the function hso_probe() which reads if_num value from the USB device (as an u8) and uses it without a length check to index an array, resulting in an OOB memory read in hso_probe() or hso_get_config_data(). An attacker with a forged USB device and physical access to a system (needed to connect such a device) can cause a system crash and a denial of service.
