Subject: [PATCH net v3 1/3] ieee802154: ca8210: prevent stack buffer overflow in ca8210_rx_done()
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 07:19:12 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930071914.421586-2-benquike@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930071914.421586-1-benquike@gmail.com>
In ca8210_spi_transfer(), each SPI transfer reads
sizeof(struct mac_message) bytes into cas_ctl->tx_in_buf:
cas_ctl->transfer.len = sizeof(struct mac_message);
However, ca8210_rx_done() only checks the received packet length
len = buf[1] + 2 against CA8210_SPI_BUF_SIZE (256). When buf[0] & SPI_SYN
is set and priv->sync_command_response is non-NULL, memcpy() copies up to
256 bytes into priv->sync_command_response, which points to a
struct mac_message object on the synchronous caller's stack, overflowing
the stack buffer:
BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in ca8210_rx_done+0x117/0x6c0
Write of size 256 at addr ffff8881009e7c40 by task swapper/0/1
Call Trace:

...
This frame has 1 object:
[32, 182) 'response'
Check len > sizeof(struct mac_message) instead of
len > CA8210_SPI_BUF_SIZE in ca8210_rx_done() so that any packet exceeding
sizeof(struct mac_message) is logged as erroneously long via dev_crit()
and dropped before copying into priv->sync_command_response or passing it
to ca8210_net_rx().
Tested in QEMU with KASAN enabled by passing a 256-byte SPI_SYN response
into ca8210_rx_done().

Changes in v3:
- Check len > sizeof(struct mac_message) at the top of ca8210_rx_done()
where dev_crit() logs the error and drops the packet instead of silently
truncating memcpy() with min_t(), addressing David Laight's feedback.
Changes in v2:
- Split the ca8210 fixes into three single-issue patches (1/3..3/3).
