Subject: [PATCH net v3] nfc: digital: check DEP_REQ length before reading DID byte
Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2026 21:24:26 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AS8P251MB00011C7777543D73542B5ADFC8BC2@AS8P251MB0001.EURP251.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM> (raw)

digital_tg_recv_dep_req() reads resp->data[3] when the DID bit is set
in the PFB, but only sizeof(struct digital_dep_req_res) bytes (3) are
guaranteed by the preceding length check.  A crafted DEP_REQ that is
exactly 3 bytes long with the DID bit set causes an out-of-bounds read
past the valid skb data.

This read can happen on every DEP_REQ from a malicious NFC initiator
when the target device has a non-zero DID.  The stale byte is compared
against ddev->did, so in practice the mismatch causes an -EIO return,
but the read itself is undefined behavior and accesses data past the
buffer.

Reorder the condition so that the length check (resp->len < size + 1)
comes first and short-circuits before resp->data[size] is accessed.
The later "size > resp->len" check becomes redundant and is left in
place.

v3:
  - correct the Fixes: tag; the bug came in with 05afedcb8918
  - reword the note on the later "size > resp->len" check, which
    returns early for NAD frames and is now redundant rather than
    preserved for that case
  No code change; Simon's Reviewed-by carried.

Compile-tested only; I have no NFC hardware.
