Subject: [Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH] Fix uninit-value in hci_chan_lookup_handle
Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2020 07:34:10 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200905020410.20350-1-anant.thazhemadam@gmail.com> (raw)
When the amount of data stored in the location corresponding to
iov_iter *from is less then 4, some data seems to go uninitialized.
Updating this condition accordingly, makes sense both intuitively and
logically as well, since the other check for extreme condition done is if
len > HCI_MAX_FRAME_SIZE, which is HCI_MAX_ACL_SIZE (which is 1024) + 4;
which itself gives some idea about what must be the ideal mininum size.

If there is some explicit reason why len < 4 doesn't work, and only len < 2 works,
please do let me know.
The commit message that introduced the initial change
(512b2268156a4e15ebf897f9a883bdee153a54b7) wasn't exactly very helpful in this
respect, and I couldn't find a whole lot of discussion regarding this either.
