In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thunderbolt: property: Reject u32 wrap in tb_property_entry_valid()
entry->value is u32 and entry->length is u16; the sum is performed in
u32 and wraps. A malicious XDomain peer can pick
value = 0xffffff00, length = 0x100 so the sum 0x100000000 wraps to 0
and passes the > block_len check. tb_property_parse() then passes
entry->value to parse_dwdata() as a dword offset into the property
block, reading attacker-directed memory far past the allocation.
For TEXT-typed entries with the "deviceid" or "vendorid" keys this
lands in xd->device_name / xd->vendor_name and is readable back via
the per-XDomain device_name / vendor_name sysfs attributes; the leak
is NUL-bounded (kstrdup() stops at the first zero byte) and
untargeted (the attacker picks a delta, not an absolute address).
DATA-typed entries are parsed into property->value.data but not
generically surfaced to userspace.
Use check_add_overflow() so a wrapped sum is rejected.
