Subject: [PATCH v2] Bluetooth: bnep: reject short frames before parsing
Date: Sat, 16 May 2026 08:44:33 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260516004433.3199522-1-rollkingzzc@gmail.com> (raw)
An L2CAP peer can deliver an empty BNEP payload or a payload that contains
only the outer type byte. bnep_rx_frame() currently reads the BNEP type
byte and, for control packets, the control opcode before it proves that
the skb contains those bytes. The BNEP_SETUP_CONN_REQ path can also read
the setup size byte before that byte is present, and bnep_rx_control()
dereferences the control opcode before checking that its control payload
is non-empty.
Reject empty skbs before reading the outer type byte, require a control
opcode before parsing BNEP_CONTROL, require the setup size byte before
using it, and make bnep_rx_control() fail zero-length control payloads.
Validation reproduced this kernel report:
KASAN slab-out-of-bounds in bnep_rx_frame()
Read of size 1
