usbnet: gl620a: fix out-of-bounds read in genelink_rx_fixup()
genelink_rx_fixup() splits an aggregated RX frame into its individual
packets, using a per-packet length taken from device-supplied data. That
length is only bounded by GL_MAX_PACKET_LEN (1514); it is never compared
against how many bytes were actually received.
A malicious GeneLink (GL620A) device can therefore send a short URB whose
header claims packet_count > 1 and a first packet of up to 1514 bytes.
skb_put_data(gl_skb, packet->packet_data, size);
then copies past the end of the receive buffer and hands the adjacent slab
contents up the network stack, an out-of-bounds read that leaks kernel heap.
No privilege is required: the path runs in the usbnet RX softirq as soon as
the interface is up.
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in genelink_rx_fixup (drivers/net/usb/gl620a.c:112)
Read of size 1514 at addr ffff888011309708 by task ksoftirqd/0/14
Call Trace:
...
__asan_memcpy (mm/kasan/shadow.c:105)
genelink_rx_fixup (include/linux/skbuff.h:2814 drivers/net/usb/gl620a.c:112)
usbnet_bh (drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c:572 drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c:1589)

tasklet_action (kernel/softirq.c:965)
handle_softirqs (kernel/softirq.c:622)
run_ksoftirqd (kernel/softirq.c:1076)
...
skb_pull() already verifies that the requested length fits the buffer and
returns NULL otherwise. Move it ahead of the copy and check its result, so
a packet that overruns the received data is rejected before it is read.
Well-formed frames, whose packets are fully present, are unaffected.
