[PATCH net] net: qualcomm: rmnet: validate MAP frame length before ingress parsing
From: Xiang Mei
Date: Sun Jun 28 2026 - 03:52:37 EST
__rmnet_map_ingress_handler() casts skb->data to a struct rmnet_map_header
and trusts the on-wire pkt_len field without verifying that the skb
actually contains the bytes it is about to dereference. When ingress
deaggregation is disabled (RMNET_FLAGS_INGRESS_DEAGGREGATION cleared), the
skb is handed to __rmnet_map_ingress_handler() directly, bypassing the
length check that rmnet_map_deaggregate() performs.
Three distinct reads past skb->len are reachable, so three guards are
needed:
- The MAP header (flags, mux_id, pkt_len) is read on entry, before either
csum branch and even on the command and non-csum paths, so a runt frame
faults here regardless of data_format. Guard the header first.
- On the MAPv5 next-header path, rmnet_map_process_next_hdr_packet() reads
the v5 csum header at (skb->data + sizeof(map_header)); the entry guard
only covers the header, so this needs its own check.
- On the MAPv4 path, rmnet_map_checksum_downlink_packet() reads the csum
trailer at (skb->data + len); guard it under the same CKSUMV4 condition
the read uses, or valid non-csum frames would be dropped.
Each guard uses pskb_may_pull() before its read. The MAPv4 check uses
ntohs(pkt_len) (== payload + pad) directly rather than the derived len, so
it is unaffected by the u16 underflow in len when pad > pkt_len. Well-formed
frames always carry the header/trailer they declare, so only malformed
packets are dropped; this mirrors the length check rmnet_map_deaggregate()
already performs on the deaggregation path.
