Zekun Shen 6ce708f54c ath9k: Fix out-of-bound memcpy in ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream
Large pkt_len can lead to out-out-bound memcpy. Current
ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream allows combining the content of two urb
inputs to one pkt. The first input can indicate the size of the
pkt. Any remaining size is saved in hif_dev->rx_remain_len.
While processing the next input, memcpy is used with rx_remain_len.

4-byte pkt_len can go up to 0xffff, while a single input is 0x4000
maximum in size (MAX_RX_BUF_SIZE). Thus, the patch adds a check for
pkt_len which must not exceed 2 * MAX_RX_BUG_SIZE.

I found the bug using a custome USBFuzz port. It's a research work
to fuzz USB stack/drivers. I modified it to fuzz ath9k driver only,
providing hand-crafted usb descriptors to QEMU.

After fixing the value of pkt_tag to ATH_USB_RX_STREAM_MODE_TAG in QEMU
emulation, I found the KASAN report. The bug is triggerable whenever
pkt_len is above two MAX_RX_BUG_SIZE. I used the same input that crashes
to test the driver works when applying the patch.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
