CVE-2025-68342

can: gs_usb: gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback(): check actual_length before accessing data

Published Dec 23, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 7.0 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

can: gs_usb: gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback(): check actual_length before accessing data

The URB received in gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback() contains a struct
gs_host_frame. The length of the data after the header depends on the
gs_host_frame hf::flags and the active device features (e.g. time
stamping).

Introduce a new function gs_usb_get_minimum_length() and check that we have
at least received the required amount of data before accessing it. Only
copy the data to that skb that has actually been received.

[mkl: rename gs_usb_get_minimum_length() -> +gs_usb_get_minimum_rx_length()]
