[PATCH net v3 3/3] ieee802154: ca8210: validate data_ind length upfront in ca8210_skb_rx()

From: Hui Peng <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-22 09:31:30
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_skb_rx(), data_ind is read at offsets 22 (msdulen), 23
(mpdulinkquality), 29 + msdulen (hdr.sec.level), 30..39 + msdulen
(security header), and 29 .. 29 + msdulen (payload) without verifying
that the received SPI frame length len covers those offsets, causing an
out-of-bounds read when msdulen exceeds len - 30:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ca8210_skb_rx.constprop.0.isra.0+0x137/0x160
  Read of size 64 at addr ffff888006453ddd by task init/1
  Call Trace:
   <TASK>
   dump_stack_lvl+0x70/0xa0
   print_report+0x153/0x4c6

   ca8210_net_rx+0x96/0xc0
  ...
  The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff888006453dc0
   which belongs to the cache kmalloc-32 of size 32
  The buggy address is located 29 bytes inside of
   allocated 32-byte region [ffff888006453dc0, ffff888006453de0)

Consolidate all length and msdulen validations into a single upfront check
at the beginning of ca8210_skb_rx() before allocating the skb.

Tested in QEMU with KASAN enabled by passing a short data_ind buffer with
msdulen = 64 and len = 30 into ca8210_skb_rx().

Changes in v3:
- No changes.

Changes in v2:
- Split out as patch 3/3.
- Consolidated all length checks in ca8210_skb_rx() into a single place
  at the beginning of the function before dev_alloc_skb() and dropped the
  unrelated hdr.seq assignment as requested by Miquel Raynal.
