[PATCH 1/2] can: j1939: reject TP RTS with wrong packet count
From: Liu Chao
Date: Mon Sep 07 2026 - 10:57:18 EST
j1939_xtp_rx_rts_session_new() computes the expected packet count as
(len + 6) / 7, then unconditionally overwrites it with dat[3] from
the incoming RTS, even when the two disagree. When dat[3] is smaller,
the session completes after fewer packets than the buffer was sized
for, delivering a short (zero-padded) message to userspace. When
dat[3] is zero, every incoming data packet looks out of range and the
session hangs until the rx timeout fires.
Abort the session when dat[3] doesn't match or is zero, similar to
how a4fbe70c5cb7 ("can: j1939: j1939_xtp_rx_rts_session_new(): abort
TP less than 9 bytes") rejects out-of-range message sizes.
An alternative would be to silently keep the computed value and ignore
dat[3], but that doesn't actually work: the sender only transmits
dat[3] packets, so the receiver would never collect enough to complete
and would hang until the rx timeout fires -- a worse failure mode than
a clean abort with a clear log message.
# RTS: len=100 (dat[1..2]=0x0064) but dat[3]=1 (should be 15)
