Subject: [PATCH v2] Bluetooth: MGMT: validate mesh send advertising payload length
Date: Wed,  1 Apr 2026 22:25:26 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260401142532.332943-1-keenanat2000@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260328084648.51158-2-keenanat2000@gmail.com>

mesh_send() currently bounds MGMT_OP_MESH_SEND by total command
length, but it never verifies that the bytes supplied for the
flexible adv_data[] array actually match the embedded adv_data_len
field. MGMT_MESH_SEND_SIZE only covers the fixed header, so a
truncated command can still pass the existing 20..50 byte range
check and later drive the async mesh send path past the end of the
queued command buffer.

Keep rejecting zero-length and oversized advertising payloads, but
validate adv_data_len explicitly and require the command length to
exactly match the flexible array size before queueing the request.

Fixes: b338d91703fa ("Bluetooth: Implement support for Mesh")

v2:
- replace the raw total-length range check in mesh_send()
- keep REJECTED for zero-length and oversized advertising payloads
- reject len/adv_data_len desynchronization with INVALID_PARAMS

Validation:
- vuln kernel reproduced the field-spanning write in
  hci_set_adv_instance_data() with a minimal direct-QEMU initramfs
  repro
- fixed kernel rejected malformed MGMT_OP_MESH_SEND requests at
  ingress in the same direct-QEMU setup
