Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: hci_event: validate HCI event packet Parameter Total Length
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2025 18:34:16 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251022223417.139332-2-rpthibeault@gmail.com> (raw)
There is a BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in hci_cmd_complete_evt() due to a
malformed HCI event packet received from userspace.
The existing code in hci_event_packet() checks that the buffer is large
enough to contain the event header, and checks that the hdr's Event Code
is valid, but does not check the hdr's Parameter Total Length. So,
syzbot’s event packet passes through and uses the un-init values in
hci_event_func() => hci_cmd_complete_evt().

Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=a9a4bedfca6aa9d7fa24
Tested-by: syzbot+a9a4bedfca6aa9d7fa24@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Fixes: a9de9248064bf ("[Bluetooth] Switch from OGF+OCF to using only opcodes")
