Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: bnep: Fix endianness in bnep_rx_frame() extension parsing
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 16:44:41 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260413084442.68604-1-phx0fer@gmail.com> (raw)
In bnep_rx_frame(), the extension header parsing for
BNEP_FILTER_NET_TYPE_SET and BNEP_FILTER_MULTI_ADDR_SET uses
*(u16 *)(skb->data + 1) to read the 2-byte length field. This
performs a native-endian read, but the BNEP protocol specifies this
field in big-endian (network byte order).
On little-endian architectures (x86, ARM), the bytes are swapped,
causing the length to be wildly incorrect. For example, a length
of 3 (0x00 0x03) is read as 768 (0x0300). This causes either:
- skb_pull failure (length too large) -> frame dropped
- Insufficient pull (length too small) -> frame parsing corruption
The same file correctly uses get_unaligned_be16() for identical
fields in bnep_ctrl_set_netfilter() (line 110) and
bnep_ctrl_set_mcfilter() (line 156), confirming the inconsistency.
Replace *(u16 *)(skb->data + 1) with get_unaligned_be16(skb->data + 1).
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
