[PATCH v4] usb: gadget: f_printer: bound PNP string copy length in printer_func_setup()

From: Hui Peng

Date: Wed Sep 30 2026 - 04:02:19 EST


In printer_func_setup(), when processing a GET_DEVICE_ID class setup
request, the IEEE-1284 PNP string length value = strlen(*dev->pnp_string)
is copied into buf without checking wLength (the host's requested buffer
size):

value = strlen(*dev->pnp_string);
memcpy(buf + 2, *dev->pnp_string, value);

When the host issues a GET_DEVICE_ID request with wLength smaller than
value + 2, memcpy() writes past the end of the transfer buffer, triggering
a slab out-of-bounds heap buffer overflow in printer_func_setup():

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in printer_func_setup+0x280/0x450
Write of size 3074 at addr ffff8880024f8000 by task init/1
Call Trace:
<TASK>
dump_stack_lvl+0x70/0xa0
print_report+0x153/0x4c6
kasan_report+0xf1/0x120
__asan_memcpy+0x3c/0x60
printer_func_setup+0x280/0x450

Bound the PNP string copy length using min_t(u16, wLength, strlen() + 2) in
printer_func_setup() so memcpy() never exceeds wLength.

Tested in QEMU against Linux 7.3.0-rc3 with KASAN enabled by binding
f_printer with a 3074-byte PNP string and issuing a GET_DEVICE_ID setup
request with wLength = 64: on the unfixed kernel this triggers a KASAN
slab-out-of-bounds write, whereas on the fixed kernel value is bounded to
wLength and 0 KASAN faults occur.

Changes in v4:
- Re-target fix strictly to bound memcpy() size against wLength in
GET_DEVICE_ID handling in printer_func_setup().
