PATCH 1/1 usb: gadget: configfs: fix 1-byte OOB read in ext_prop_data_show()
In ext_prop_data_store(), for unicode property types, the data buffer is allocated via kmemdup() with size 'len', but data_len is inflated to len*2+2 to account for the UTF-16 encoding and a 2-byte null terminator. The null terminator is not actually stored in the data buffer.
When ext_prop_data_show() reads the data back, it computes the read length as data_len >> 1 = len+1, then does memcpy(page, data, len+1), reading 1 byte past the allocated buffer. This is a slab-out-of-bounds read that leaks 1 byte of adjacent heap data to userspace via configfs.
KASAN report (5.10.252):
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ext_prop_data_show+0x4a/0x60 Read of size 9 at addr ffff888005546008 by task poc/62 Allocated by task 62: kmemdup+0x17/0x40 ext_prop_data_store+0x52/0x130 configfs_write_file+0x168/0x200 The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff888005546008 which belongs to the cache kmalloc-8 of size 8
Fix by allocating len+1 bytes and null-terminating the buffer, so the extra byte read in show() returns a known-zero byte instead of adjacent slab data.

Isn't the problem the "+2" in the size calculation? The terminator is never stored nor used.
