Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: bnep: reject short frames before parsing
Date: Wed, 13 May 2026 11:12:46 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260513031246.651762-1-rollkingzzc@gmail.com> (raw)
An L2CAP peer can deliver an empty BNEP payload or a payload that contains
only the outer type byte. bnep_rx_frame() currently dereferences the type
byte and, for control traffic, the control opcode before it proves that
those bytes exist in the skb. The setup-connection control path can also
read the setup size byte before it is present. bnep_rx_control() has the
same problem when it is asked to parse an empty control payload.
Reject empty skbs before reading the outer type byte, require a control
opcode before parsing BNEP_CONTROL, require the setup size byte before
using it, and make bnep_rx_control() fail zero-length control payloads.
Sanitizer validation reported:
KASAN slab-out-of-bounds in bnep_rx_frame()
Read of size 1
