Subject: Bluetooth: HIDP: reject frames without a transaction header
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=47778d2c2087b5d192398f6fddf692d16a5431cf;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git

Bluetooth: HIDP: reject frames without a transaction header

hidp_recv_ctrl_frame() and hidp_recv_intr_frame() read skb->data[0]
before checking that the L2CAP SDU contains a transaction header. A
connected HIDP peer can send an empty basic-mode SDU and make both paths
use an uninitialized byte from skb tailroom.

KMSAN reports the use in hidp_session_run(), with the uninitialized value
originating in __alloc_skb() through vhci_write(). The control path
produces two reports and the interrupt path produces one.

The byte can also be controlled by a malformed lower-layer packet. If an
HCI ACL packet contains an L2CAP PDU with a declared zero-length payload
followed by an extra 0x15 byte, l2cap_recv_acldata() reduces skb->len to
the declared PDU length before dispatch. The current HIDP path nevertheless
consumes the extra byte as HIDP_TRANS_HID_CONTROL |
HIDP_CTRL_VIRTUAL_CABLE_UNPLUG and terminates the HIDP session. With this
change, the same packet is discarded and a subsequent feature report
request succeeds.

Pull the transaction header with skb_pull_data() and discard frames that
do not contain it.
