Subject: [PATCH 1/5] net: ch9200: fix uninitialised access bug during mii_nway_restart
Date: Sat, 12 Apr 2025 19:38:25 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250412183829.41342-2-qasdev00@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250412183829.41342-1-qasdev00@gmail.com>

In mii_nway_restart() during the line:

        bmcr = mii->mdio_read(mii->dev, mii->phy_id, MII_BMCR);

The code attempts to call mii->mdio_read which is ch9200_mdio_read().

ch9200_mdio_read() utilises a local buffer, which is initialised
with control_read():

        unsigned char buff[2];

However buff is conditionally initialised inside control_read():

        if (err == size) {
                memcpy(data, buf, size);
        }

If the condition of "err == size" is not met, then buff remains
uninitialised. Once this happens the uninitialised buff is accessed
and returned during ch9200_mdio_read():

        return (buff[0] | buff[1] << 8);

The problem stems from the fact that ch9200_mdio_read() ignores the
return value of control_read(), leading to uinit-access of buff.

To fix this we should check the return value of control_read()
and return early on error. We return 0 on control_read() failure here 
because returning a negative may trigger the "bmcr & BMCR_ANENABLE" 
check within mii_nway_restart.
