[PATCH net 0/2] net: hamradio: fix missing input validation in bpqether and scc
From: Mashiro Chen
Date: Wed Apr 08 2026 - 13:26:01 EST
Two fixes for missing input validation in the hamradio drivers:
- bpqether: bpq_rcv() computes frame length as data[0] + data[1]*256 - 5,
which can underflow when the length fields encode a value less than 5.
The resulting negative value is subsequently used as an unsigned length,
leading to out-of-bounds access.
- scc: the SIOCSCCSMEM ioctl accepts a bufsize of 0 without validation.
When a receive interrupt fires, dev_alloc_skb(0) allocates an skb with
an empty data area, and the subsequent skb_put_u8() calls write into
the adjacent skb_shared_info, corrupting heap memory.
Both fixes are minimal, adding only a bounds check before the dangerous
operation.
