Subject: [PATCH v5] Bluetooth: bnep: reject short frames before parsing
Date: Fri, 29 May 2026 11:22:09 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260529032209.2269753-1-rollkingzzc@gmail.com> (raw)
A BNEP peer can send a short BNEP SDU. bnep_rx_frame() reads the
packet type byte immediately and, for control packets, reads the control
opcode and setup UUID-size byte before proving that those bytes are
present. bnep_rx_control() also dereferences the control opcode without
rejecting an empty control payload.
Use skb_pull_data() for the fixed fields in bnep_rx_frame() so a NULL
return gates each dereference. Split the control handler so the frame
path can pass an opcode that has already been pulled, and keep the
byte-buffer wrapper for extension control payloads.
For BNEP_SETUP_CONN_REQ, name the UUID-size byte before pulling the
setup payload. struct bnep_setup_conn_req carries destination and source
service UUIDs after that byte, each uuid_size bytes, so the parser now
documents that tuple explicitly instead of leaving the pull length as an
opaque multiplication.
Validation reproduced this kernel report:
KASAN slab-out-of-bounds in bnep_rx_frame.isra.0+0x130c/0x1790
The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff88800c0f7908 which belongs
to the cache kmalloc-8 of size 8
The buggy address is located 0 bytes to the right of allocated 1-byte
region [ffff88800c0f7908, ffff88800c0f7909)
Read of size 1

v5:
Clarify the BNEP_SETUP_CONN_REQ UUID-size handling using the setup
request layout from struct bnep_setup_conn_req.
v4:
Wrap the changelog entry that Bluetooth CI flagged as overlong.
Keep the BNEP code fix unchanged from the last submitted patch.
v3:
Use skb_pull_data() with NULL checks in bnep_rx_frame() instead of direct
skb->len guards before fixed header dereferences.
Split control handling so bnep_rx_frame() can pass an already pulled control
opcode while preserving the existing extension control wrapper.
