The first check correctly accounts for\nndpoffset:\n\n  if ((ndpoffset + sizeof(struct usb_cdc_ncm_ndp16)) > skb_in->len)\n\nbut the second check omits it:\n\n  if ((sizeof(struct usb_cdc_ncm_ndp16) +\n       ret * (sizeof(struct usb_cdc_ncm_dpe16))) > skb_in->len)\n\nThis validates the DPE array size against the total skb length as if\nthe NDP were at offset 0, rather than at ndpoffset. When the NDP is\nplaced near the end of the NTB (large wNdpIndex), the DPE entries can\nextend past the skb data buffer even though the check passes.\ncdc_ncm_rx_fixup() then reads out-of-bounds memory when iterating\nthe DPE array.\n\nAdd ndpoffset to the nframes bounds check and use struct_size_t() to\nexpress the NDP-plus-DPE-array size more clearly.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":["CWE-129"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2aa8a4fa8d5b7d0e1ebcec100e1a4d80a1f4b21a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/403f94ddcb36c552fbef51dea735b131e3dcde8b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/63c35b8fce77a7892e8fa06c540d4943145506eb","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/789204f980730258c983102c027c375238009c80","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dce9dda0e3707e887977db44407989e9ead26611"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:28:59.047572785+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-23448","score":0.00134,"percentile":0.02911,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
