Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Universal Serial Bus (USB) audio gadget driver. A connected USB host can send a specially crafted audio control request with an invalid command index, causing an out-of-bounds heap memory read and write. This flaw primarily allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a system crash, or potentially lead to kernel memory corruption.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-18 15:52:21 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: gadget: f_uac1_legacy: validate bRequest index in generic_{set,get}_cmd

generic_set_cmd() and generic_get_cmd() use the low nibble of
ctrl->bRequest as an index into con->data[]:

    u8 cmd = (ctrl->bRequest & 0x0F);  /* 0 .. 15 */
    ...
    con->data[cmd] = value;            /* OOB when cmd >= 5 */

struct usb_audio_control (include/linux/usb/audio.h) declares data as
a 5-element array, so indices 5 through 15 write (or read) up to 44
bytes past the end of the array on the heap.

A malicious USB host can craft a class-specific SET_CUR / GET_CUR
request with an arbitrary bRequest value, triggering the out-of-bounds
access from an IRQ completion handler with no further preconditions.

Add an ARRAY_SIZE() guard to both functions.
