Aug 4 RESCORED — CVE-2024-35915 (Linux). CVSS 8.8 → 5.5 (NVD).
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: nci: Fix uninit-value in nci_dev_up and nci_ntf_packet
syzbot reported the following uninit-value access issue [1][2]:
nci_rx_work() parses and processes received packet. When the payload
length is zero, each message type handler reads uninitialized payload
and KMSAN detects this issue. The receipt of a packet with a zero-size
payload is considered unexpected, and therefore, such packets should be
silently discarded.
This patch resolved this issue by checking payload size before calling
each message type handler codes.
