Subject: [PATCH 1/4] net: fix uninitialised access in mii_nway_restart()
Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2025 11:21:53 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250319112156.48312-2-qasdev00@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250319112156.48312-1-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.
