Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y 2/2] Bluetooth: HIDP: reject frames without a transaction header
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 09:34:32 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810133432.1246348-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260810133432.1246348-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Sangho Lee <kudo3228@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit 47778d2c2087b5d192398f6fddf692d16a5431cf ]
hidp_recv_ctrl_frame() and hidp_recv_intr_frame() read skb->data[0]
before checking that the L2CAP SDU contains a transaction header. A
connected HIDP peer can send an empty basic-mode SDU and make both paths
use an uninitialized byte from skb tailroom.
KMSAN reports the use in hidp_session_run(), with the uninitialized value
originating in __alloc_skb() through vhci_write(). The control path
produces two reports and the interrupt path produces one.
The byte can also be controlled by a malformed lower-layer packet. If an
HCI ACL packet contains an L2CAP PDU with a declared zero-length payload
followed by an extra 0x15 byte, l2cap_recv_acldata() reduces skb->len to
the declared PDU length before dispatch. The current HIDP path nevertheless
consumes the extra byte as HIDP_TRANS_HID_CONTROL |
HIDP_CTRL_VIRTUAL_CABLE_UNPLUG and terminates the HIDP session. With this
change, the same packet is discarded and a subsequent feature report
request succeeds.
Pull the transaction header with skb_pull_data() and discard frames that
do not contain it.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
