>Description:
I was getting some weird values for usb configuration descriptor extra length. Valgrind is a wonderful tool recently ported to FreeBSD by stas at FreeBSD.org. Using valgrind I found the following problems (fixed in the attached patch):
1. In libusb10_desc.c, libusb_get_config_descriptor(), at line 162:
pconfd->interface = (libusb_interface *) (pconfd +
sizeof(libusb_config_descriptor));
should be:
pconfd->interface = (libusb_interface *) (pconfd + 1);
This problem causes illegal writes past the end of pconfd.
2. In libusb20_ugen20.c , ugen20_get_config_desc_full(), cdesc and ptr are not initialised. This problem causes branches on uninitialised values.
3. In libusb20.c, libusb20_be_free(), pbe is not free'd. This problem causes a minor memory leak.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile the following test, link with a debug version of libusb.a and run valgrind.
#include <libusb.h>
int main(void) {
libusb_context *context;
struct libusb_device **devs;
struct libusb_config_descriptor *config;
libusb_init(&context);
libusb_get_device_list(context, &devs);
libusb_get_active_config_descriptor(devs[0], &config);
libusb_free_config_descriptor(config);
libusb_free_device_list(devs, 1);
libusb_exit(context);
return 0;
}
>Fix:
Apply the attached patch in /usr/src/lib/libusb
