[PATCH net v2 1/3] ieee802154: ca8210: prevent stack buffer overflow in ca8210_rx_done()

From: Hui Peng <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-21 07:42:06
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: ca8210 ieee-802.15.4 radio driver, ieee 802.15.4 subsystem, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Aring, Stefan Schmidt, Miquel Raynal, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

In ca8210_rx_done(), the packet length len = buf[1] + 2 is only checked
against CA8210_SPI_BUF_SIZE (256). When buf[0] & SPI_SYN is set and
priv->sync_command_response is non-NULL, memcpy() copies up to 256 bytes
into priv->sync_command_response, which points to a struct mac_message
object (sizeof(struct mac_message) = 250 bytes) on the synchronous
caller's stack, overflowing the stack buffer by up to 6 bytes:

  BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in ca8210_rx_done+0xc4/0xe0
  Write of size 256 at addr ffff888001907660 by task init/1
  Call Trace:
   <TASK>
   dump_stack_lvl+0x70/0xa0
   print_report+0x153/0x4c6
   kasan_report+0xf1/0x120
   kasan_check_range+0x125/0x200
   __asan_memcpy+0x3c/0x60
   ca8210_rx_done+0xc4/0xe0
   ca8210_spi_exchange+0x12e/0x190
  ...
  The buggy address belongs to stack of task init/1
   and is located at offset 32 in frame:
   ca8210_spi_exchange+0x0/0x190
  This frame has 1 object:
   [32, 282) 'response'

Bound the synchronous response memcpy() length to
min_t(size_t, len, sizeof(struct mac_message)).

Tested in QEMU with KASAN enabled by passing a 256-byte SPI_SYN response
into ca8210_rx_done().

Changes in v2:
- Split the ca8210 fixes into three single-issue patches (1/3..3/3).
