[PATCH net 5/6] net/ncsi: validate AEN packet lengths against the skb

From: Michael Bommarito <hidden>
Date: 2026-04-22 16:05:13
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: ncsi library, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Samuel Mendoza-Jonas, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

AEN packets are dispatched after only pulling the 16-byte common
header. ncsi_aen_handler() then reads the 20-byte AEN header to
select a per-type handler, and ncsi_validate_aen_pkt() walks
farther into the payload and checksum without first ensuring the
skb contains those bytes.

Pull the AEN-specific header before reading h->type, and pull the
full AEN header plus aligned payload before checksum validation.
That keeps short AEN packets from reading past the skb tail on the
AEN path.

Fixes: 2d283bdd079c ("net/ncsi: Resource management")
