Subject: [PATCH v2] sdp: Prevent integer underflow in string attribute length calculation
Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2026 04:27:20 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261008042720.3134391-1-benquike@gmail.com> (raw)
In lib/bluetooth/sdp.c, attribute string length calculations subtract
sizeof(uint8_t) from d->unitSize (e.g. d->unitSize - sizeof(uint8_t)).
When d->unitSize is 0 or less than sizeof(uint8_t), this subtraction
underflows in 32-bit integer arithmetic to a negative/huge length value,
passing invalid sizes to memory allocation and length extraction
functions.
Add explicit lower-bound guards checking d->unitSize > (int)sizeof(uint8_t)
to ensure that when d->unitSize <= sizeof(uint8_t), the calculated string
length is safely set to 0.
Assisted-by: Antigravity

Changes in v2:
- Cast sizeof(uint8_t) to (int) in comparison checks to fix
-Werror=sign-compare compiler warnings reported by BlueZ CI.
- Refactor length calculation blocks to use clear if/else guards.
