[PATCH] ROSE: prevent heap corruption with bad facilities

From: Dan Rosenberg <hidden>
Date: 2011-03-19 23:35:18

When parsing the FAC_NATIONAL_DIGIS facilities field, keeping the
counter field in an unsigned char is insufficient, since the counter is
incremented by AX25_ADDR_LEN (7) with each loop.  Providing a field
length of 0xf, for example, causes heap corruption because the counter
wraps without ever reaching the length and data is copied past the
boundaries of the source_digis or dest_digis facilities arrays.  Change
the counter to an unsigned ints to prevent this wrapping and overflow.

Additionally, when parsing the FAC_CCITT_DEST_NSAP and
FAC_CCITT_SRC_NSAP facilities fields, a length of less than 10 results
in an underflow in a memcpy size, resulting in a kernel panic due to
massive heap corruption.  Abort facilities parsing on this invalid
length value.

Please disregard this patch, my brain wasn't working properly when I
wrote it.  There are problems in these areas, but this fix is incomplete
(and the description for the first issue is practically nonsensical).
I'll resend a new version shortly.
