Subject: [PATCH] net: fix uninitialised access in mii_nway_restart() and cleanup error handling
Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2025 16:11:57 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250311161157.49065-1-qasdev00@gmail.com> (raw)

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.

Furthermore the get_mac_address() function has a similar problem where
it does not directly check the return value of each control_read(),
instead it sums up the return values and checks them all at the end
which means if any call to control_read() fails the function just 
continues on.

Handle this by validating the return value of each call and fail fast
and early instead of continuing.

Lastly ch9200_bind() ignores the return values of multiple 
control_write() calls.

Validate each control_write() call to ensure it succeeds before
continuing with the next call.
