In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: f_ncm: Use unsigned int for ndp_index The variable ndp_index is declared as a signed integer, but it stores the return value of get_ncm(), which is unsigned. A malicious host can supply a large offset that overflows the signed ndp_index, making it negative. Because ndp_index is compared against unsigned bounds, this negative value bypasses sanity checks and leads to an out-of-bounds read when calculating the address of the NDP block (ntb_ptr + ndp_index). Fix this by changing ndp_index to unsigned int to ensure consistent unsigned comparisons throughout the function. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's USB gadget NCM (Network Control Model) function (`f_ncm`). A malicious host can exploit an integer overflow vulnerability by supplying a large offset. This overflow causes a signed index variable to become negative, bypassing security checks and leading to an out-of-bounds read. This could result in information disclosure from kernel memory.
