Subject: [PATCH 1/2] nfc: pn533: bound device-supplied lengths in the receive path
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2026 22:59:52 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260618025953.1878757-2-michael.bommarito@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260618025953.1878757-1-michael.bommarito@gmail.com>

The PN533 receive path trusts device-supplied length fields and reads
past the received buffer when they exceed it. The rx skb is sized to the
device's USB transfer length, so a malicious PN53x reader triggers
out-of-bounds reads in the standard/ACR122 frame validators, in Type A
target parsing (nfcid_len), and in the autopoll record walk.

Thread the received length into the rx_is_frame_valid callbacks, reject
ACR122 frames with datalen < 2, and add the missing nfcid and per-record
bounds.

This was found with static analysis and confirmed with the KUnit tests
added in the following patch.

Fixes: c46ee38620a2 ("NFC: pn533: add NXP pn533 nfc device driver")
Fixes: 9815c7cf22da ("NFC: pn533: Separate physical layer from the core implementation")
Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-8
