Subject: NULL pointer dereference when writing fuzzed data to /dev/uhid

Hello,

When writing the attached file to /dev/uhid, a NULL dereference occurs
in kernel. As I understand, the problem is not UHID-specific, but is
related to HID subsystem.

How to reproduce:
1) Checkout the fresh master branch of the Linux kernel (tested on
commit 96d4f267e)
2) Compile it with the attached config (kvm-xfstests capable)
3) Take one of reproducers and execute
cat /vtmp/repro > /dev/uhid

What happens:

For chicony.bin:

Subject: Re: NULL pointer dereference when writing fuzzed data to /dev/uhid

Oops, I thought I was "over securing" these issues and everyone
ignored them since I heard default policy here is to not send reports
privately without a good reason, so I re-evaluated them and sent
publicly...

OTOH these ones seem to be not too severe: on the first glance they
require a physical or root access, and even if they don't, *these
ones* are only NULL dereferences.

Best regards
Anatoly

Thanks for the report.
I wanted to tell you that I started investigating the other private
report you sent us, but couldn't find the time to properly come with a
fix as the fuzzed data is hard to discriminate from valid data.

A couple of notes though:
- writing to uhid needs to be done by root. Any distribution that
doesn't enforce that is doomed to have several security issues
- we could somehow reproduce those fuzzed data on a USB or Bluetooth
connection, but that would require physical access to the device, so
you are doomed also
- last IIRC, there was some attempts by the ChromeOS team to allow
access to the HID stack from the Chrome plugins, I don't know if this
is able to generate the issues.

On the specifics reported here:

This driver expects the device to be connected on USB, and you are
triggering the oops because you are on uhid.
I am chasing the USB dependencies in most drivers, but this is a hard
task to do when I do not have access to the actual devices.

I guess one way of fixing that is to add a check for the actual
transport driver during probe:
hid_is_using_ll_driver(hdev, &usb_hid_driver)

Patches are welcome :)

In a sense, it's good to have a fault there because this was added to
make sure we do not blindly accept any data. The fact that it doesn't
fail gracefully is a sign that there is something else.
Maybe Roderick could have a look?

Sure I can have a look. Would you be able to share the sony.bin file?
Did you inject a particular device? We do a lot of remapping and
processing in hid-sony at startup. It is probably related to that.

If you are asking me, then no, I blindly send fuzzed data with a
simple (but quite large and not very meaningful) header. That time it
just turned out to be Sony-like descriptor :)

Thanks, it seems the tests created a Buzz controller. It is
sony_led_init (called from sony_input_configured), which calls
hid_validate_values. It is hid_validate_values, which is unhappy due
to obviously corrupted reports.

I'm not too familiar with hid_validate_values, but it seems to access
a bunch of data structures on the HID device. The code probably makes
some assumptions. Fixing this issue requires some more sanity
checking, if it is worth it.

Thanks,
Roderick

We want to protect kernel from root, too.

Not neccessarily. Imagine a kiosk where PC is protected but keyboard
uses USB connection. If our USB stack is buggy, you are doomed... but
you should not be ;-).

Just in case it can be helpful... If it is about manually "parsing"
descriptors to understand what is wrong by hands, then maybe Kaitai
Struct parser generator can help. I understand it is probably not
suited well for in-kernel binary parsing, but given a text-form
description of a format, it can visualize parsed binary data as a
hierarchical structure.

Well, the data and parsing is pretty straightforward (see
http://who-t.blogspot.com/2018/12/understanding-hid-report-descriptors.html
if you want to have an entertaining understanding, instead of reading
the specs). The problem is the fuzzed data looks like a correct one,
but there is garbage in the middle.

And we can not simply rely on some global CRC that would prevent
fuzzing because there is none. And the report descriptor is in the
device, so we can't upgrade all of them.

So in the end, sending a fuzz HID report descriptor is like sending a
language grammar that doesn't mean anything. The parser says, "well,
yes, why not", but sometime the rest of the drivers expect a little
bit more, and this is where it gets hard to see.

Cheers,
Benjamin
