> get_ether_addr() parses a MAC address string with a fixed six-iteration
> loop, unconditionally calling hex_to_bin() twice per iteration.  It never
> checks for the terminating NUL, so a short string supplied through the
> configfs dev_addr attribute (e.g. "ab") makes the parser read past the
> end of the buffer, triggering a slab-out-of-bounds read reported by
> KASAN.  hex_to_bin() also returns -1 for non-hex characters, which is
> shifted and OR'ed into dev_addr.
> 
> Bail out as soon as the string ends or a non-hex digit is found, routing
> all failure paths through the existing eth_random_addr() fallback so that
> dev_addr is always fully initialized before the function returns.
