msc host: walk msch_open descriptors by bLength within bounds - #4509
#4394 (fix for #4367) closed the out-of-bounds read in msch_open() by pinning bNumEndpoints == 2, interface bLength == 9 and endpoint bLength == 7, so the fixed 23-byte drv_len window matched what tu_desc_next() walks. That rejects descriptors longer than defined, which USB 2.0 §9.5 says a host accepts: the extra bytes are ignored and the next descriptor is located by bLength. A mass storage device with, for example, a 9-byte bulk endpoint descriptor is not mounted.
Solution
Bound each step instead of pinning the lengths:
Interface: in bounds and bLength >= 9 before its fields are read; bNumEndpoints == 2.
Endpoints: tu_desc_in_bounds() within max_len and bLength >= 7 before reading fields; the walk records the bulk IN and bulk OUT descriptors, requires one of each, then opens them directly.
Return the walked length, so usbh skips to the next interface correctly.
The checks are no longer under TUH_VALIDATE_BASIC: they bound reads of device-supplied data, so they stay at TUSB_VALIDATION_NONE too. Requiring one IN and one OUT also rejects two endpoints of the same direction, which previously left ep_out unset.
Unit tests build descriptors byte by byte and record tuh_edpt_open() calls: longer interface and endpoint descriptors are accepted; short, zero-length, truncated and past-the-end descriptors, wrong endpoint counts and same-direction pairs are rejected with nothing opened. accepts_longer_descriptors and rejects_same_direction fail on master.
Evidence:
pre-commit run (unit tests included) passes.
check_build.py --base origin/master: MSC host examples build on all 34 selected families (espressif with ESP-IDF exported).
Code size, raspberry_pi_picohost/msc_file_explorer: msc_host.c +4 B Flash, RAM unchanged.
No hardware run: a device with oversized descriptors is not on the rig.
#4394 pinned interface and endpoint bLength to their exact sizes to keep the fixed drv_len window safe, which rejects descriptors longer than defined; USB 2.0 9.5 says a host ignores the extra bytes and locates the next descriptor by bLength.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
msch_open now checks descriptor bounds and minimum lengths, then walks interface and endpoint descriptors using their declared lengths. It accepts extra descriptor bytes and requires one bulk IN and one bulk OUT endpoint before opening either. It returns the number of bytes consumed. Unit tests and a fuzz harness cover valid, extended, short, out-of-bounds, zero-length, and same-direction descriptors.
Possibly related issues
hathach/tinyusb#4352: This PR bounds the msch_open descriptor walk, addressing the issue’s msch_open enumeration-buffer concern. The hidh_open concern remains unresolved.
hathach/tinyusb#4511: This PR opens endpoints in descriptor order, which relates to the reported endpoint-open ordering workaround. It does not resolve the cited hcd_dwc2 root cause.
hathach/tinyusb#4480: This PR changes endpoint selection in msch_open, but it does not address the issue’s per-device interface-state overwrite.

Severity of issue fixed: Medium
Merge Risk: Minimal · up to c8f86
This change lets the MSC host accept devices with longer-than-standard interface and endpoint descriptors, while still rejecting malformed descriptors. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title names the change: msch_open in the MSC host walks descriptors by bLength with bounds checks. The raw summary confirms msc_host.c changes to msch_open(), which walks descriptors by bLength within max_len. The title is specific and concise, and it matches the main change.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description explains the problem (the #4394 fix pinned exact descriptor lengths and rejects longer valid descriptors), the solution (bounded walk by bLength, one IN and one OUT bulk endpoint, returning walked length), and the tests and evidence. It matches the msc_host.c and test changes and the linked issue #4504.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Directly linked issue #4504 has coding requirements only. Requirements: (1) accept interface and endpoint descriptors longer than defined and ignore extra bytes; (2) reject descriptors shorter than the minimum or extending past the supplied span; (3) walk by bLength using bounds checks (tu_desc_in_bounds()) and minimum lengths (interface bLength >= 9, endpoint bLength >= 7); (4) require one bulk IN and one bulk OUT endpoint, so same-direction pairs fail; (5) return the walked length. The whole-PR summary for src/class/msc/msc_host.c (merge base 43991c2 to head c8f8670) states that msch_open() checks interface bLength >= 9 and bounds, walks endpoints by bLength within max_len with bLength >= 7, requires one IN and one OUT before opening, and returns the consumed length including extra bytes. The PR objectives report that the only msc_host.c hunk is confined to msch_open(). The unit test summary covers longer descriptors (accepted), and short, zero-length, past-end and same-direction descriptors (rejected with no tuh_edpt_open() calls). The PR description states the checks no longer depend on TUH_VALIDATE_BASIC, which matches the issue's request to keep protection. No source lines were re-read in this assessment. Minor discrepancy noted: the objectives report +25/-26 for msc_host.c and the raw summary reports +29/-27. This does not change the requirement verdict. No coding requirement is unmet on the available evidence. The fuzz seed corpus zip is excluded by ignored_files, so its contents are not assessed. The hardware run is non-coding and does not apply.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The previous FAIL relied on an incremental diff from 17cff82 to d6e6ba9 that showed reset-recovery, desynchronization, tag ID, Phase Error and enumeration-abort changes. The whole-PR evidence differs. The PR objectives report that the only msc_host.c diff hunk is confined to msch_open(). The whole-PR summary describes only the msch_open() descriptor-walk change in msc_host.c. The reset and enumeration changes therefore belong to the merge base, not to this PR's diff. The unit test changes in test_msc_host.c cover the msch_open() behavior. The fuzz harness (fuzz.c, CMake targets, Makefile, tusb_config.h) under test/fuzz/host/msch_open supports the descriptor-walk change by testing it. The stub functions in fuzz.c exist only to link the harness. The fuzz seed corpus is excluded from review and not assessed. The msc_host.c source hunk was not re-read directly, and the line counts differ between sources (+25/-26 versus +29/-27). No demonstrated unrelated change remains on the available evidence.

Without SEED, fuzz_add_seed_test() creates an empty corpus and registers a -runs=0 invocation. Neither replay test receives valid descriptor examples. Add a shared seed archive with standard, oversized, truncated, and same-direction descriptors, then pass it to both targets. This gives both validation configurations deterministic parser coverage.
