Description

nfc: nci: Fix uninit-value in nci_dev_up and nci_ntf_packet

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfc: nci: Fix uninit-value in nci_dev_up and nci_ntf_packet

syzbot reported the following uninit-value access issue [1][2]:

nci_rx_work() parses and processes received packet. When the payload

length is zero, each message type handler reads uninitialized payload

and KMSAN detects this issue. The receipt of a packet with a zero-size

payload is considered unexpected, and therefore, such packets should be

silently discarded.

This patch resolved this issue by checking payload size before calling

each message type handler codes.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached from an adjacent network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality high, integrity high, availability high.
