CVE-2026-80798CVE-2026-80798
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: llcp: reject PDUs shorter than the LLCP header
Every LLCP PDU begins with a two-byte header (DSAP/SSAP + PTYPE), but the
receive path never checked that a frame is at least LLCP_HEADER_SIZE bytes
before parsing it.
nfc_llcp_rx_skb() reads the header via nfc_llcp_ptype()/nfc_llcp_dsap()/
nfc_llcp_ssap(), which dereference pdu->data[0] and pdu->data[1], and a
CONNECT or CC PDU then computes
tlv_array_len = skb->len - LLCP_HEADER_SIZE;
as a size_t and hands it to the TLV walk. When the frame is shorter than
the header the subtraction wraps to a huge value and the walk runs far
past the buffer, an out-of-bounds read.
A nearby NFC device can reach this without authentication; LLCP link
activation happens automatically after NFC-DEP.
Guard the common receive choke point __nfc_llcp_recv(), shared by both the
target (nfc_llcp_data_received()) and initiator (nfc_llcp_recv()) paths, so
a short skb is dropped before
