https://code.google.com/p/google-security-research/issues/detail?id=98

A bug exists in drivers/usb/serial/whiteheat.c that can result in a kernel memory corruption. The WHITEHEAT_GET_DTR_RTS command response is not verified correctly in the function command_port_read_callback. It assumes that the bulk response cannot be larger than 64 bytes, however on EHCI and XHCI this isn't necessarily the case. 

We consider this a security bug in the context of an attacker who gains short-term physical access to a running device with the goal of turning this into long-term remote access. 

I've attached a non-tested patch that attempts to address the issue by not handling responses greater than the buffer size.


The patch has been fixed up and committed http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/usb/serial/whiteheat.c?id=6817ae225cd650fb1c3295d769298c38b1eba818

Thanks for the fast response from security@kernel.org and Greg Kroah-Hartman.

I applied the fix patch to SLE11-SP3, openSUSE-12.3 and openSUSE-13.1 branches.

SLE12 and openSUSE-13.2 branches already contain the fix from stable trees.
