Subject: [PATCH net 3/3] net: dsa: qca8k: check the length of MIB autocast frames
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2026 21:29:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261022192933.384898-4-kuncy7@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261022192933.384898-1-kuncy7@gmail.com>
qca_tag_rcv() makes only the 2 byte tag linear before it hands a MIB
frame to qca8k_mib_autocast_handler(). The handler then reads the
counters that follow the Ethernet header, up to 164 bytes on QCA833x,
straight from skb->data, without checking the frame length. A short or
non-linear frame makes it read past the packet data.
Pull the counters into the linear area before reading them. A frame
that is too short is left uncounted, so the request times out and
the caller reads the counters from the registers instead.
Fixes: 5c957c7ca78c ("net: dsa: qca8k: add support for mib autocast in Ethernet packet")
