Subject: [PATCH net v3 2/3] ieee802154: ca8210: prevent stack buffer overflow in hwme_get_request_sync()
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 09:30:24 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922093126.141969-3-benquike@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260922093126.141969-1-benquike@gmail.com>
In ca8210_get_ed(), an uninitialized u8 lenvar and a pointer to a 1-byte
stack buffer (u8 *level) are passed to hwme_get_request_sync(), which
unconditionally copies response.pdata.hwme_get_cnf.hw_attribute_length
bytes into hw_attribute_value without checking the caller's destination
buffer capacity, overflowing level on the stack when hw_attribute_length
exceeds 1:
BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in hwme_get_request_sync.constprop.0.isra.0+0xf3/0x170
Write of size 16 at addr ffff888001907780 by task init/1
Call Trace:
<TASK>
dump_stack_lvl+0x70/0xa0
print_report+0x153/0x4c6
kasan_report+0xf1/0x120
kasan_check_range+0x125/0x200
__asan_memcpy+0x3c/0x60
hwme_get_request_sync.constprop.0.isra.0+0xf3/0x170
ca8210_get_ed+0x9c/0xf0
...
The buggy address belongs to stack of task init/1
and is located at offset 48 in frame:
ca8210_get_ed+0x0/0xf0
This frame has 2 objects:
[48, 49) 'level'
[64, 65) 'lenvar'
Initialize lenvar = 1 in ca8210_get_ed() and return
IEEE802154_SYSTEM_ERROR in hwme_get_request_sync() if
response.pdata.hwme_get_cnf.hw_attribute_length exceeds
*hw_attribute_length.
Tested in QEMU with KASAN enabled by passing an oversized
hw_attribute_length response into ca8210_get_ed().

Changes in v3:
- No changes.
Changes in v2:
- Split out as patch 2/3.
- Replaced the temporary stack buffer in ca8210_get_ed() with lenvar = 1
and an upper-bound check against *hw_attribute_length in
hwme_get_request_sync() as requested by Miquel Raynal.
