CVE-2022-49226 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: asix: add proper error handling of usb read errors

Syzbot once again hit uninit value in asix driver. The problem still the same – asix_read_cmd() reads less bytes than was requested by caller.

Since all read requests are performed via asix_read_cmd() let’s catch usb related error there and add __must_check notation to be sure all callers actually check return value.

So this patch adds sanity check inside asix_read_cmd() that simply checks if bytes read are not less than was requested and adds missing error handling of asix_read_cmd() all across the driver code.
