CVE-2026-63896 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: composite: fix integer underflow in WebUSB GET_URL handling The WebUSB GET_URL handler in composite_setup() narrows landing_page_length to fit the host-supplied wLength using landing_page_length = w_length - WEBUSB_URL_DESCRIPTOR_HEADER_LENGTH + landing_page_offset; If wLength is smaller than WEBUSB_URL_DESCRIPTOR_HEADER_LENGTH the unsigned subtraction wraps, and the subsequent memcpy(url_descriptor->URL, cdev->landing_page + landing_page_offset, landing_page_length - landing_page_offset); ends up copying close to UINT_MAX bytes from cdev->landing_page into cdev->req->buf. KASAN reports a slab-out-of-bounds in composite_setup on the kmalloc-2k gadget_info allocation, and FORTIFY_SOURCE traps the memcpy as a 4294967293-byte field-spanning write into url_descriptor->URL (size 252). A USB host can reach this from a single SETUP packet against any gadget that has webusb/use=1 and a landingPage configured. Handle the small-wLength case before the math: when the host requested fewer bytes than the URL descriptor header, only the header is meaningful and no URL bytes need to be copied. Setting landing_page_length to landing_page_offset makes the existing memcpy a no-op and leaves the descriptor returned to the host unchanged for all larger wLength values.
An integer underflow vulnerability has been identified in the WebUSB GET_URL handler of the Linux kernel's USB gadget composite driver. This issue arises when the host-supplied wLength is smaller than the WebUSB URL descriptor header length, causing an unsigned subtraction to wrap. As a result, the handler inadvertently copies nearly UINT_MAX bytes from the landing page into the request buffer, leading to a slab-out-of-bounds error. This vulnerability can be exploited by a USB host sending a SETUP packet to a gadget with WebUSB enabled and a landing page configured.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been patched. Instructions for downloading the updated kernel can be found on the official Linux kernel website.
