Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-06-18 11:15 - Updated: 2026-08-04 10:18

Severity

7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: cp2112: prevent a buffer overflow in cp2112_xfer() Smatch warnings: drivers/hid/hid-cp2112.c:793 cp2112_xfer() error: __memcpy() 'data->block[1]' too small (33 vs 255) drivers/hid/hid-cp2112.c:793 cp2112_xfer() error: __memcpy() 'buf' too small (64 vs 255) The 'read_length' variable is provided by 'data->block[0]' which comes from user and it(read_length) can take a value between 0-255. Add an upper bound to 'read_length' variable to prevent a buffer overflow in memcpy().

Presence of a CP2112 adapter is a deployment precondition; the attack itself is a local syscall against /dev/i2c-N.\nAC:L - An attacker who can open the adapter reliably sets data-\u003eblock[0] above I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX (e.g. 33\u201361) and completes a normal I2C block read; no race or unpredictable state outside attacker influence is required. CP2112 deployments typically have responding I2C slaves (EEPROMs/sensors) that the attacker can address.\nPR:L - i2cdev_open() performs no capability check; access is governed by /dev/i2c-* permissions, commonly 0660 root:i2c or similarly granted to unprivileged service accounts on embedded/industrial systems. That is basic local access, not real root/init-namespace admin rights.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires only the attacker issuing ioctl(I2C_SMBUS) with I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA; no victim action is needed.\nS:U - This is ordinary kernel memory corruption within the host OS authority (local privilege escalation/DoS), with no VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-boundary impact.\nC:H - The bug is an out-of-bounds write of attacker-chosen length (and I2C-sourced contents) past union i2c_smbus_data on the stack, which is memory corruption that can be leveraged for information disclosure.\nI:H - Out-of-bounds stack write via memcpy(data-\u003eblock+1, buf, read_length) with read_length up to 61 into a 33-byte destination enables integrity compromise and potential control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The same memory corruption can crash the kernel (oops/panic) even when not fully exploited for code execution."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
