Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: nci: fix uninit-value in the RF discover/activated NTF handlers nci_rf_discover_ntf_packet() and nci_rf_intf_activated_ntf_packet() each parse a notification into an on-stack struct (nci_rf_discover_ntf / nci_rf_intf_activated_ntf) that is not initialised. The RF technology-specific parameters are only extracted when rf_tech_specific_params_len is non-zero, so a notification that reports a zero length leaves the rf_tech_specific_params union uninitialised - and both handlers then pass it to nci_add_new_protocol(), which reads it: - discover: nci_add_new_target() -> nci_add_new_protocol(); - activated: nci_target_auto_activated() -> nci_add_new_protocol(). nci_add_new_protocol() uses nfca_poll->nfcid1_len as both a branch condition and a memcpy() length and copies nfcid1/sens_res/sel_res into ndev->targets, which is later exposed to user space via NFC_CMD_GET_TARGET. BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in nci_add_new_protocol+0x624/0x6c0 nci_add_new_protocol+0x624/0x6c0 nci_ntf_packet+0x25b2/0x3c30 nci_rx_work+0x318/0x5d0 process_scheduled_works+0x84b/0x17a0 worker_thread+0xc10/0x11b0 kthread+0x376/0x500 Local variable ntf.i created at: nci_ntf_packet+0xbc2/0x3c30 Zero-initialise both on-stack notifications so the union reads back as zero when no technology-specific parameters are present.
