Subject: [PATCH v3] Bluetooth: HIDP: fix missing length checks in hidp_input_report()
Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 18:56:43 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260520225643.35683-1-meatuni001@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CABBYNZ+Oc=LU6d8_xK9_a9yk-TFyaE=0KsNvAwKbNZVs1EJpWg@mail.gmail.com>

hidp_input_report() reads keyboard and mouse payload data from an skb
without first verifying that skb->len contains enough data.

hidp_recv_intr_frame() pulls the 1-byte HIDP header before dispatching
to hidp_input_report(). If a paired device sends a truncated packet,
the handler reads beyond the valid skb data, resulting in an
out-of-bounds read of skb data. The OOB bytes may be interpreted as
phantom key presses or spurious mouse movement.

Replace the open-coded length tracking and pointer arithmetic with
skb_pull_data() calls. skb_pull_data() returns NULL if the requested
bytes are not present, eliminating the need for a manual size variable
and the separate skb->len guard.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")

v3:
 - Replace manual length checks and pointer arithmetic with
   skb_pull_data() per Luiz's review
v2:
 - Add Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org per Greg KH's note
