CVE-2025-68308 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: kvaser_usb: leaf: Fix potential infinite loop in command parsers The `kvaser_usb_leaf_wait_cmd()` and `kvaser_usb_leaf_read_bulk_callback` functions contain logic to zero-length commands. These commands are used to align data to the USB endpoint's wMaxPacketSize boundary. The driver attempts to skip these placeholders by aligning the buffer position `pos` to the next packet boundary using `round_up()` function. However, if zero-length command is found exactly on a packet boundary (i.e., `pos` is a multiple of wMaxPacketSize, including 0), `round_up` function will return the unchanged value of `pos`. This prevents `pos` to be increased, causing an infinite loop in the parsing logic. This patch fixes this in the function by using `pos + 1` instead. This ensures that even if `pos` is on a boundary, the calculation is based on `pos + 1`, forcing `round_up()` to always return the next aligned boundary.
A vulnerability causing a potential infinite loop has been identified in the Kvaser USB leaf driver of the Linux kernel. This issue arises in the 'kvaser_usb_leaf_wait_cmd()' and 'kvaser_usb_leaf_read_bulk_callback' functions, which handle zero-length commands for data alignment with the USB endpoint's maximum packet size. The driver attempts to bypass these zero-length commands by aligning the buffer position to the next packet boundary. However, if a zero-length command is encountered exactly on a packet boundary, the alignment function will return the unchanged position, preventing it from advancing and leading to an infinite loop. This vulnerability affects several versions of the Linux kernel.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been patched. The patch is available in the Linux kernel stable tree.
