[PATCH] media: usb: ttusb-dec: avoid buffer overflow in ttusb_dec_handle_irq() when DMA failures/attacks occur

From: Jia-Ju Bai
Date: Tue May 05 2020 - 10:22:01 EST


In ttusb_dec_init_usb():
dec->irq_buffer = usb_alloc_coherent(...)

Thus, "dec->irq_buffer" is a DMA value, and it is assigned to "buffer"
in ttusb_dec_handle_irq():
char *buffer = dec->irq_buffer;

When DMA failures or attacks occur, the value of buffer[4] can be
changed at any time. In this case, "buffer[4] - 1 < ARRAY_SIZE(rc_keys)"
can be first satisfied, and then the value of buffer[4] can be changed
to a large number, causing a buffer-overflow vulnerability.

To avoid the risk of this vulnerability, buffer[4] is assigned to a
non-DMA local variable "index" at the beginning of
ttusb_dec_handle_irq(), and then this variable replaces each use of
buffer[4] in the function.
