Subject: [PATCH net v2] nfc: nci: fix use of uninitialized memory in NFC-DEP general bytes
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 02:49:29 +0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260628214929.135152-1-meatuni001@gmail.com> (raw)

nci_store_general_bytes_nfc_dep() derives the length of the NFC-DEP
general bytes by subtracting the fixed general-bytes offset from the ATR
length:

  atr_res_len - NFC_ATR_RES_GT_OFFSET   (poll, offset 15)
  atr_req_len - NFC_ATR_REQ_GT_OFFSET   (listen, offset 14)

It never checks that the ATR is at least that long.  When a
RF_INTF_ACTIVATED_NTF reports an ATR shorter than the offset the
subtraction is negative; because min_t() casts its arguments to __u8 the
negative value becomes large and is then capped at
NFC_ATR_RES_GB_MAXSIZE / NFC_ATR_REQ_GB_MAXSIZE.  remote_gb_len is thus
set to up to 47/48 even though only atr_res_len/atr_req_len bytes of the
on-stack atr_res/atr_req buffer were copied from the packet, and the
following memcpy() reads the uninitialized remainder into
ndev->remote_gb.

Zero remote_gb_len and skip storing the general bytes when the ATR is
shorter than the general-bytes offset, so that a stale remote_gb_len
from a previous activation does not survive into the new session.
