Hello Christophe Ricard,
The patch 26fc6c7f02cb: "NFC: st21nfca: Add HCI transaction event
support" from Feb 1, 2015, leads to the following static checker
warning:
drivers/nfc/st21nfca/st21nfca_se.c:321 st21nfca_connectivity_event_received()
error: 'skb->data[1]' from user is not capped properly
drivers/nfc/st21nfca/st21nfca_se.c
300 int st21nfca_connectivity_event_received(struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev, u8 host,
301 u8 event, struct sk_buff *skb)
302 {
303 int r = 0;
304 struct device *dev = &hdev->ndev->dev;
305 struct nfc_evt_transaction *transaction;
306
307 pr_debug("connectivity gate event: %x\n", event);
308
309 switch (event) {
310 case ST21NFCA_EVT_CONNECTIVITY:
311 break;
312 case ST21NFCA_EVT_TRANSACTION:
313 if (skb->len < NFC_MIN_AID_LENGTH + 2 &&
314 skb->data[0] != NFC_EVT_TRANSACTION_AID_TAG)
315 return -EPROTO;
Here we don't trust skb->data[0].
316
317 transaction = (struct nfc_evt_transaction *)devm_kzalloc(dev,
318 skb->len - 2, GFP_KERNEL);
319
320 transaction->aid_len = skb->data[1];
321 memcpy(transaction->aid, &skb->data[2], skb->data[1]);
^^^^^^^^^^^^
But here we trust skb->data[1].
NFC code is hard to analyze because sometimes skb->data[] comes from the
firmware and holds trusted values. But sometimes it comes from the
network and can overflow. Smatch marks it all as untrusted so it causes
a lot of false postives.
Some of them have comments like:
net/nfc/hci/core.c:218 nfc_hci_cmd_received()
error: buffer overflow 'hdev->pipes' 127 <= 255
But this one doesn't have a comment so it's hard for me as an outsider
to say if this is a bug or not.
322
regards,
dan carpenter

I never got a response on this. Is this remote exploitable or from the
firmware?

Hi Dan,
Actually, i am sorry, i forgot to reply back on your email but i have
tried to add comments in a follow up patch for st21nfca and st21nfcb:
st21nfca: https://lists.01.org/pipermail/linux-nfc/2015-March/003463.html
st21nfcb: https://lists.01.org/pipermail/linux-nfc/2015-March/003462.html
The actual answer from an nfc evt_transaction is a known structure with
secure element application identifier (aid) + some data.
Please let me know if it is still not clear enough.
Best Regards
