Subject: [PATCH BlueZ v1 00/10] shared/gatt: Use util_iov helpers for PDU handling
Date: Mon,  9 Nov 2026 10:44:51 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109154501.1362649-1-luiz.dentz@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Luiz Augusto von Dentz <luiz.von.dentz@intel.com>

This converts src/shared/{att,gatt-server,gatt-client,gatt-helpers} to
build and parse PDUs with the util_iov_pull_* and util_iov_push_*
helpers rather than pointer arithmetic on the PDU, so that the bounds
check is part of the access.

The conversion is meant to be behavior preserving, the existing
unit/test-gatt tests pass unchanged. It is followed by tests for
malformed PDUs, which the original code already rejected, so these are
regression coverage for the converted paths, and by fixes for bugs
found while reading the code:

 - the authorize callback was called with handle 0 for writes
   (reproduced by a new test)
 - a failure to store prepared write data sent two responses
 - the Execute Write registration failure returned NULL for a bool
 - handle_notify leaked a bt_att reference when the signature of a
   Signed Write Command could not be verified
 - handle_notify subtracted the signature length once per handler

The last four have no unit test: the prepare write failure is only
reachable by an allocation failure, and the signature paths need a
signing key and crypto setup that unit/test-gatt does not have.

Note that "make check" runs the tests under valgrind, which reports
uninitialised bytes in bt_log_open() for unit/test-gatt both before and
after this series in the environment used.

Luiz Augusto von Dentz (10):
  shared/att: Use util_iov helpers to build and parse PDUs
  shared/gatt-server: Use util_iov helpers to build and parse PDUs
  shared/gatt-helpers: Use util_iov helpers to build and parse PDUs
  shared/gatt-client: Use util_iov helpers to build and parse PDUs
  unit/test-gatt: Add malformed PDU tests
  shared/gatt-server: Fix authorize callback getting handle 0 on write
  shared/gatt-server: Fix double response on prepare write failure
  shared/gatt-server: Fix return value of handler registration
  shared/att: Fix reference leak on signature verification failure
  shared/att: Fix signature length subtracted once per handler
