CVE-2016-20022 (published 2024-06-27T23:15Z)

In the Linux kernel before 4.8, usb_parse_endpoint in drivers/usb/core/config.c does not validate the wMaxPacketSize field of an endpoint descriptor. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the supplier.

msg: USB: validate wMaxPacketValue entries in endpoint descriptors

Erroneous or malicious endpoint descriptors may have non-zero bits in
reserved positions, or out-of-bounds values.  This patch helps prevent
these from causing problems by bounds-checking the wMaxPacketValue
entries in endpoint descriptors and capping the values at the maximum
allowed.

This issue was first discovered and tests were conducted by Jake Lamberson
<jake.lamberson1@gmail.com>, an intern working for Rosie Hall.
