Subject: [PATCH bluetooth-next v2] Bluetooth: L2CAP: validate MPS and MTU in ECRED connection response
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 03:26:03 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110-bt-ecred-mps-fix-v2-1-48c5ee28fd8a@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Joas Antonio dos Santos <joasantonio108@gmail.com>
l2cap_ecred_conn_rsp() stores the MTU and MPS from the peer without
checking them against the minimums required for enhanced credit based
channels. The other LE and ECRED handlers (l2cap_le_connect_req(),
l2cap_le_connect_rsp(), l2cap_ecred_conn_req(), l2cap_ecred_reconf_req())
all reject values below the minimum.
With an MPS below L2CAP_SDULEN_SIZE, the pdu_len computation in
l2cap_segment_le_sdu() wraps:
pdu_len = chan->remote_mps - L2CAP_SDULEN_SIZE;
pdu_len is then clamped to the SDU length, which l2cap_chan_send() has
already limited to chan->omtu, so nothing is over-allocated and there is
no memory safety issue. The result is that the whole SDU is sent as a
single PDU, larger than the MPS the peer announced, and a channel is
established with parameters the specification does not allow.
Apply the same L2CAP_ECRED_MIN_MTU / L2CAP_ECRED_MIN_MPS checks that
l2cap_ecred_conn_req() uses and drop the channel when the response
carries smaller values.
Found by LLM-assisted manual code review.

v1 claimed that a peer-supplied MPS of 0 leads to an oversized skb
allocation and potential memory corruption. That was wrong, and I
apologize for the noise: in l2cap_segment_le_sdu() the wrapped pdu_len
is clamped to the SDU length, which l2cap_chan_send() has already
limited to chan->omtu, so there is no memory safety impact. The
remaining problem is conformance only (PDUs larger than the MPS the
peer announced, and inconsistency with the other LE/ECRED handlers).

Changes in v2:
- Correct the commit message: no memory safety impact, drop the
overstated claim from v1
- No code change
- Cc linux-bluetooth, which v1 missed
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20261108-bt-ecred-mps-fix-v1-1-e7419bff6ee5@gmail.com
