What happened

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: gadget: uac: validate rate list length before storing

UAC1 and UAC2 configfs rate-list attributes parse a comma-separated list of sampling rates and store each parsed value in fixed-size arrays. The arrays have UAC_MAX_RATES entries, but the store paths do not check that the input contains at most that many tokens before writing through opts->name##s[i++].

Writing more than ten rates therefore writes past the end of the p_srates[] or c_srates[] array in struct f_uac1_opts or struct f_uac2_opts.

With CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS enabled, writing an 11-entry rate list to the UAC1 p_srate attribute reports:

UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_uac1.c:1669:1 index 10 is out of range for type 'int [10]' __ubsan_handle_out_of_bounds.cold f_uac1_opts_p_srate_store configfs_write_iter vfs_write ksys_write do_syscall_64

The same reproducer against the UAC2 p_srate attribute reports:

UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_uac2.c:2087:1 index 10 is out of range for type 'int [10]' __ubsan_handle_out_of_bounds.cold f_uac2_opts_p_srate_store configfs_write_iter vfs_write ksys_write do_syscall_64

Reject additional tokens once UAC_MAX_RATES entries have been parsed. Also keep the original kstrdup() pointer for kfree(), because strsep() advances the parsing cursor. Freeing the advanced cursor leaks the original buffer on successful parses and can free an interior pointer on some error paths.

About this data

This record was ingested from a data source. Retrieved: Oct 30, 2026, 14:52 UTC. Ingestion is not an independent editorial investigation.

NVD status: Received. Publication in the NVD is not evidence of exploitation.

A CISA KEV listing documents known exploitation, not necessarily a zero-day; absence from the catalog does not prove a vulnerability has never been exploited.

Technology tags indicate possible relevance, not verified exposure. Confirm the affected product, version, and configuration against your own inventory; KEVWire does not scan your systems.

A personal reading checklist on this device, not verified remediation.
