[PATCH v2] USB: serial: belkin_sa: validate interrupt status length

From: Zhang Cen

Date: Tue May 19 2026 - 07:39:19 EST


The Belkin interrupt callback treats interrupt data as a four-byte
status report and reads LSR/MSR fields at offsets 2 and 3. The
interrupt-in buffer length is derived from endpoint wMaxPacketSize, and
short interrupt transfers may complete successfully with a smaller
actual_length.

Check the completed interrupt packet length before parsing status
fields so short interrupt endpoints and short successful packets are
ignored instead of causing out-of-bounds or stale status-byte reads.

KASAN report as below:

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in belkin_sa_read_int_callback()
Read of size 1
Call trace:
belkin_sa_read_int_callback() (drivers/usb/serial/belkin_sa.c:202)
__usb_hcd_giveback_urb() (drivers/usb/core/hcd.c:1630)
dummy_timer() (?:?)

hrtimer_run_softirq() (kernel/time/hrtimer.c:2001)
handle_softirqs() (kernel/softirq.c:579)

v2:
- Drop the transfer_buffer_length check; urb->actual_length is bounded
by the URB transfer buffer length.
- Add the KASAN validation report.
- Add Assisted-by tag.
