[PATCH net v2 4/4] ieee802154: mcr20a: fix 1-byte out-of-bounds read in mcr20a_handle_tx()

From: Hui Peng <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-21 07:42:10
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: ieee 802.15.4 subsystem, mcr20a ieee-802.15.4 radio driver, 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 mcr20a_handle_tx(), the 1-byte psduLength prefix (lp->tx_len[0]) is
already sent in a separate SPI transfer (lp->tx_xfer_len), while
lp->tx_xfer_buf transfers the payload from lp->tx_skb->data. Setting
lp->tx_xfer_buf.len = lp->tx_skb->len + 1 causes the SPI transfer to read
1 byte past the end of lp->tx_skb->data:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in mcr20a_handle_tx+0xf5/0x150
  Read of size 17 at addr ffff8880057f7500 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+0x23/0x60
   mcr20a_handle_tx+0xf5/0x150
  ...
  The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff8880057f7500
   which belongs to the cache kmalloc-16 of size 16
  The buggy address is located 0 bytes inside of
   allocated 16-byte region [ffff8880057f7500, ffff8880057f7510)

Set lp->tx_xfer_buf.len to lp->tx_skb->len.

Tested in QEMU with KASAN enabled by transferring a 16-byte tx_skb->data
buffer in mcr20a_handle_tx().

Changes in v2:
- Split out as patch 4/4 covering only the mcr20a TX SPI transfer length
  fix as requested by Miquel Raynal.
