Subject: [PATCH v2] nfc: pn533: bounds-check the ATR_RES response before parsing it
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2026 20:00:16 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109110016.1511307-1-hj351016@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Hyunjung Ko <hj351016@gmail.com>
pn533_poll_dep_complete(), pn533_in_dep_link_up_complete() and
pn533_activate_target_nfcdep() cast resp->data to the fixed ATR_RES
header (struct pn533_cmd_jump_dep_response / pn533_cmd_activate_response)
and, on a successful response, read nfcid3t[] and compute the general-
bytes length as resp->len - sizeof(header). A short response leaves that
read past the end of the skb data, an out-of-bounds read; the copied
nfcid3t reaches userspace via nfc_targets_found() and netlink.
Only the success path needs the full fixed header: a no-peer/failure
reply is just the status byte, and the existing failure handling (turn
the radio off and re-arm polling, or print the error) must keep running
for it. So validate resp->len >= sizeof(*rsp) after the status check, on
the success path, in all three handlers, before nfcid3t and the general
bytes are read.
Found by code review; not reproduced.
Fixes: 361f3cb7f9cf ("NFC: DEP link hook implementation for pn533")
Fixes: 673088fb42d0 ("NFC: pn533: Send ATR_REQ directly for active device detection")

Changes in v2 (thanks to the Sashiko AI review):
- move the length check to the SUCCESS path (after the status check), so
a no-peer/timeout reply (resp->len == 1) still takes the existing
"turn radio off, re-arm polling" / error path instead of returning
-EINVAL and stalling the poll loop
- also guard pn533_activate_target_nfcdep(), the third ATR_RES parser
- add Fixes: tags for the two commits that introduced the parsing
- drop the inaccurate claim that the other handlers already length-check
resp->len (only pn533_init_target_complete() does)
