CVE-2026-43255

/* * Conceptual PoC / Snippet for CVE-2026-43255 * This demonstrates the logic flaw in the Libertas USB driver. */ // Vulnerable context in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/libertas/usb.c void lbs_usb_tx(struct lbs_private *priv, struct sk_buff *skb) { struct if_usb_card *cardp = priv->card; // ... setup logic ... // VULNERABILITY: Submitting URB without checking if it is already active. // Rapid calls (e.g., during firmware load) trigger the warning. usb_submit_urb(cardp->tx_urb, GFP_ATOMIC); } // Patched context void lbs_usb_tx(struct lbs_private *priv, struct sk_buff *skb) { struct if_usb_card *cardp = priv->card; // ... setup logic ... // FIX: Enforce serialization before submitting. usb_kill_urb(cardp->tx_urb); usb_submit_urb(cardp->tx_urb, GFP_ATOMIC); }
