DescriptionNVD

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: rc: igorplugusb: fix control request setup packet

Commit eac69475b01f ("media: rc: igorplugusb: heed coherency rules") changed the control request storage from an embedded struct to an allocated pointer so it can obey DMA coherency rules.

However, the driver still passes &ir->request to usb_fill_control_urb(). That points the URB setup packet at the pointer field itself rather than at the allocated struct usb_ctrlrequest.

USB core then interprets pointer bytes as the setup packet. This can produce an invalid bRequestType and trigger the control direction warning reported by syzbot:

usb 2-1: BOGUS control dir, pipe 80003580 doesn't match bRequestType 0

Pass ir->request itself as the setup packet.

AnalysisAI

Incorrect pointer passing in the Linux kernel's igorplugusb infrared USB receiver driver causes the USB core to misinterpret raw pointer bytes as a USB control setup packet, triggering a BOGUS control direction warning and a kernel-level denial of service. The regression was introduced by commit eac69475b01f, which allocated ir->request as a pointer for DMA coherency but left the usb_fill_control_urb() call referencing &ir->request (the pointer variable's address) rather than ir->request (the allocated struct usb_ctrlrequest). No public exploit or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis; EPSS is 0.17% (6th percentile), reflecting minimal real-world exploitation probability.

Technical ContextAI

The igorplugusb driver (drivers/media/rc/igorplugusb.c) manages a USB-attached infrared blaster/receiver and communicates with the device via USB control transfers. Commit eac69475b01f converted ir->request from an embedded struct usb_ctrlrequest to a dynamically allocated pointer to satisfy DMA coherency rules, but the subsequent call to usb_fill_control_urb() was not corrected: it still receives &ir->request, which is the address of the pointer variable itself, not the allocated buffer. The USB core then reads pointer-width bytes at that location and treats them as a struct usb_ctrlrequest, producing an arbitrary bRequestType. The syzbot fuzzer reproduced the resulting kernel log message: 'BOGUS control dir, pipe 80003580 doesn't match bRequestType 0'. No CWE is formally assigned, but the flaw maps to CWE-822 (Untrusted Pointer Dereference). Affected CPE: cpe:2.3:a:linux:linux:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to a patched kernel release: 6.6.143 or later in the 6.6 stable series, 6.12.93 or later in the 6.12 series, 6.18.35 or later in the 6.18 series, or 7.0.12 or later in the 7.0 series. Individual stable-branch fixes are published at git.kernel.org - representative commits include https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/171022c7d594c133a45f92357a2a91475edabe20 and https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e823e4294511989f5962e7ad85bf4d179ba74f52. Ubuntu users should apply the packages described in USN-8618-1. Where immediate patching is not feasible, blacklist the igorplugusb module by adding 'blacklist igorplugusb' to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and running update-initramfs; this eliminates the attack surface entirely but disables IR receiver functionality on any connected igorplugusb device. No other compensating control addresses the root cause.
