Subject: [PATCH BlueZ 2/2] tools: Fix btmon-logger heap-buffer-overflow triggered by HCI devcoredump
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 02:13:21 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915-fix_heap_overflow-v1-2-8fc39dbcb303@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260915-fix_heap_overflow-v1-0-8fc39dbcb303@oss.qualcomm.com>
Kernel HCI devcoredump can accumulate a large amount of dump data from MANY
packets, then send it as a SINGLE DIAG packet to the monitor channel, so
cause payload length @len in the header exceed BTSNOOP_MAX_PACKET_SIZE, but
btmon-logger uses @len to access the payload in @buf without validating that
@len fits within @buf, causing a heap-buffer-overflow.
Kernel:
include/net/bluetooth/hci_mon.h
struct hci_mon_hdr {
__le16 opcode;
__le16 index;
__le16 len;
} __packed;
BlueZ:
src/shared/btsnoop.h
#define BTSNOOP_MAX_PACKET_SIZE (1486 + 4)
tools/btmon-logger.c
uint8_t buf[BTSNOOP_MAX_PACKET_SIZE];
Fix by clamping the payload length to the amount of data received before
accessing @buf.
