Subject: [PATCH v3] nfc: pn533: fix OOB read in pn533_acr122_is_rx_frame_valid()
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 09:26:27 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923035627.6210-1-kartikey406@gmail.com> (raw)

frame->ccid.datalen is read directly from the USB response frame
and used, unchecked, as an index into frame->data[]. A malicious or
malfunctioning device can set this field to an arbitrary value,
causing the driver to read far outside the received buffer.

Bound ccid.datalen against the maximum possible ACR122 frame size
before using it. This replaces the existing datalen == 0 check,
since datalen < 2 already covers that case and additionally
rejects datalen == 1, which would still underflow the
"datalen - 2" offset used below.

Fixes: 9815c7cf22da ("NFC: pn533: Separate physical layer from the core implementation")

Changes in v3:
- Correct Assisted-by tag to "LLM" per
  https://docs.kernel.org/process/coding-assistants.html (per David).

Changes in v2:
- Replace the existing "if (!frame->ccid.datalen)" check instead of
  adding the new bounds check alongside it, since the new check
  already subsumes it (per Johan Hovold).
