From df9079e72760ceb7ebe7fb11538200c516bdd886 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jouni Malinen Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2015 21:57:28 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] NFC: Fix payload length validation in NDEF record parser It was possible for the 32-bit record->total_length value to end up wrapping around due to integer overflow if the longer form of payload length field is used and record->payload_length gets a value close to 2^32. This could result in ndef_parse_record() accepting a too large payload length value and the record type filter reading up to about 20 bytes beyond the end of the buffer and potentially killing the process. This could also result in an attempt to allocate close to 2^32 bytes of heap memory and if that were to succeed, a buffer read overflow of the same length which would most likely result in the process termination. In case of record->total_length ending up getting the value 0, there would be no buffer read overflow, but record parsing would result in an infinite loop in ndef_parse_records(). Any of these error cases could potentially be used for denial of service attacks over NFC by using a malformed NDEF record on an NFC Tag or sending them during NFC connection handover if the application providing the NDEF message to hostapd/wpa_supplicant did no validation of the received records. While such validation is likely done in the NFC stack that needs to parse the NFC messages before further processing, hostapd/wpa_supplicant better be prepared for any data being included here. Fix this by validating record->payload_length value in a way that detects integer overflow.
