Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: SCO: check for codecs->num_codecs == 1 before assigning to sco_pi(sk)->codec
Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2026 17:13:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260407151345.126999-1-metze@samba.org> (raw)
copy_struct_from_sockptr() fill 'buffer' in
sco_sock_setsockopt() with zeros, so there's no
real problem.
But it actually looks strange to do this,
without checking all of codecs->codecs[0]
really comes from userspace:
sco_pi(sk)->codec = codecs->codecs[0];
As only optlen < sizeof(struct bt_codecs) is checked
and codecs->num_codecs is not checked against != 1,
but only <= 1, and the space for the additional struct bt_codec
is not checked.
Note I don't understand bluetooth and I didn't do any runtime
tests with this! I just found it when debugging a problem
in copy_struct_from_sockptr().
I just added this to check the size is as expected:
BUILD_BUG_ON(struct_size(codecs, codecs, 0) != 1);
BUILD_BUG_ON(struct_size(codecs, codecs, 1) != 8);
And made sure it still compiles using this:
make CF=-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__ W=1ce C=1 net/bluetooth/sco.o
