[PATCH] HID: wacom: fix OOB read in wacom_wac_pen_serial_enforce()
From: Wei Jie Law
Date: Sat Aug 22 2026 - 08:10:16 EST
wacom_wac_pen_serial_enforce() iterates over a field's usages (up to
field->maxusage) but indexes the report bits by j * report_size:
for (i = 0; i < report->maxfield; i++) {
for (j = 0; j < report->field[i]->maxusage; j++) {
...
value = hid_field_extract(hdev, raw_data + 1,
offset + j * size, size);
In hid_add_field() the usage array is sized max(usage_index,
report_count), so field->maxusage can be far larger than report_count
when a descriptor lists more usages than its Report Count. A field
declaring Usage Minimum 0 / Usage Maximum 0x2ffe with Report Count 1
gives maxusage == 12288 while the field's bit region is only 8 bits
wide. The extract at j == 12287 then reads bit offset 12287 * 8, i.e.
byte 12287 of raw_data + 1, roughly 12 KB past a 2-byte received
report. __extract() performs no bounds check.
The value read that way is stored into wacom_wac->serial[0] and can be
emitted to userspace as an MSC_SERIAL event by wacom_wac_pen_report(),
so this is an information disclosure and not just an out-of-bounds
read. A malicious device only has to claim vendor id 0x056a for
hid_scan_report() to place it in HID_GROUP_WACOM and have this driver
bound to it, and a single crafted input report is enough to trigger the
read.
Clamp the inner loop to the field's actual report region with
min(maxusage, report_count), so usages that have no report data behind
them are no longer extracted.
Verified on v6.12.104, whose wacom_sys.c is identical to mainline here,
with a UHID reproducer and with an emulated USB device (raw-gadget): a
hardware watchpoint on wacom_wac->serial[0] fires with an out-of-bounds
heap byte while a 2-byte report is being processed, and no longer fires
once the loop is clamped.

The reproducer is available on request.
Compile-tested on bd5f485f3f02, x86_64 defconfig + CONFIG_HID_WACOM=y.
