[PATCH v3] can: peak_usb: Add bounds check for USB channel index
From: James Gao
Date: Wed May 20 2026 - 01:40:40 EST
The channel control index ctrl_idx is derived from rx->len which comes
directly from a device USB payload. The mask 0x0f allows values 0-15,
but the array size of usb_if->dev[] is only 2. Values 2-15 cause heap
out-of-bounds read, eventually causing kernel panic in the IRQ context.
Add bounds checking for ctrl_idx before the array access in both
pcan_usb_pro_handle_canmsg() and pcan_usb_pro_handle_error().
Fixes: d8a199355f8f ("can: usb: PEAK-System Technik PCAN-USB Pro specific part")

Hi Vincent, thank you for the feedback.
I have separated the declaration and expression.
Changes in v2 -> v3:
- Separate declaration and expression
Changes in v1-> v2:
- Use ARRAY_SIZE(usb_if->dev) instead of PCAN_USBPRO_CHANNEL_COUNT
- Use -EINVAL instead of -ENOMEM
- Add newline between variable declaration and bounds check
- Wrap commit message
