Re: [PATCH V4 5/6] net: maclorawan: Implement maclorawan class module

I made a fake skb and passed it to lrw_parse_frame() function for
testing.  I use print_hex_dump() function to show the skb's content.
Here is the original content in the skb->data and the length is 20 bytes.

[   33.732033] 00000000: 40 04 03 02 01 00 00 00 00 27 76 d3 2d 1b 79
a0  @........'v.-.y.
[   33.732065] 00000010: 18 38 fb a6                                      .8..

Byte 0: MHDR field, value is 0x40.
Byte 1 ~ 4: DevAddr field, value is 0x04 0x03 0x02 0x01.
Byte 5: FCtrl field, value is 0x00.
Byte 6 ~ 7: FCnt field, value is 0x00 0x00.
Byte 8: FPort field, value is 0x00.
Byte 9 ~ 15: Encrypted payload
Byte 16 ~ 19: MIC field value is 0x18 0x38 0xfb 0xa6.

Thanks!  It is a potential bug.
It should check skb->len >= length of MHDR + DevAddr + FCtrl + FCnt + MIC.
These are required fields for (Un)confirmed Data Up/Down messages.

It copied fhdr->fopts_len bytes from skb->data to fhdr->fopts if
fhdr->fopts_len > 0.

> and then try and trim the buffer to a negative size ?

It removed 4 tail bytes (MIC).  (skb->len - LRW_MIC_LEN) is the final
new length as skb_trim()'s 2nd argument len.

I found another bug which did not initialize rx_skb_list.  So,
lrw_parse_frame() may be passed a mystery skb.

Please keep reviewing.  That is appreciated.
