NFC: nci: Bounds check struct nfc_target arrays

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 28/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.34% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 27eb2d7a1b9987b6d0429b7716b1ff3b82c4ffc9, 6778434706940b8fad7ef35f410d2b9929f256d2, 6b37f0dc0638d13a006f2f24d2f6ca61e83bc714.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 27eb2d7a1b9987b6d0429b7716b1ff3b82c4ffc9, 6778434706940b8fad7ef35f410d2b9929f256d2, 6b37f0dc0638d13a006f2f24d2f6ca61e83bc714 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFC: nci: Bounds check struct nfc_target arrays While running under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y, syzkaller reported: memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 129) of single field "target->sensf_res" at net/nfc/nci/ntf.c:260 (size 18) This appears to be a legitimate lack of bounds checking in nci_add_new_protocol(). Add the missing checks.
