NFC: digital: Bounds check NFC-A cascade depth in SDD response handler

2026-06-01T15:38:36+00:00

commit 46ce8be2ced389bccd84bcc04a12cf2f4d0c22d1 upstream. The NFC-A anti-collision cascade in digital_in_recv_sdd_res() appends 3 or 4 bytes to target->nfcid1 on each round, but the number of cascade rounds is controlled entirely by the peer device. The peer sets the cascade tag in the SDD_RES (deciding 3 vs 4 bytes) and the cascade-incomplete bit in the SEL_RES (deciding whether another round follows). ISO 14443-3 limits NFC-A to three cascade levels and target->nfcid1 is sized accordingly (NFC_NFCID1_MAXSIZE = 10), but nothing in the driver actually enforces this. This means a malicious peer can keep the cascade running, writing past the heap-allocated nfc_target with each round. Fix this by rejecting the response when the accumulated UID would exceed the buffer. Commit e329e71013c9 ("NFC: nci: Bounds check struct nfc_target arrays") fixed similar missing checks against the same field on the NCI path.

nfc: llcp: add missing return after LLCP_CLOSED checks

2026-06-01T15:38:35+00:00

commit 2b5dd4632966c39da6ba74dbc8689b309065e82c upstream. In nfc_llcp_recv_hdlc() and nfc_llcp_recv_disc(), when the socket state is LLCP_CLOSED, the code correctly calls release_sock() and nfc_llcp_sock_put() but fails to return. Execution falls through to the remainder of the function, which calls release_sock() and nfc_llcp_sock_put() again. This results in a double release_sock() and a refcount underflow via double nfc_llcp_sock_put(), leading to a use-after-free. Add the missing return statements after the LLCP_CLOSED branches in both functions to prevent the fall-through.

nfc: nci: fix circular locking dependency in nci_close_device

2026-04-11T12:16:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4527025d440ce84bf56e75ce1df2e84cb8178616 ] nci_close_device() flushes rx_wq and tx_wq while holding req_lock. This causes a circular locking dependency because nci_rx_work() running on rx_wq can end up taking req_lock too: nci_rx_work -> nci_rx_data_packet -> nci_data_exchange_complete -> __sk_destruct -> rawsock_destruct -> nfc_deactivate_target -> nci_deactivate_target -> nci_request -> mutex_lock(&ndev->req_lock) Move the flush of rx_wq after req_lock has been released. This should safe (I think) because NCI_UP has already been cleared and the transport is closed, so the work will see it and return -ENETDOWN. NIPA has been hitting this running the nci selftest with a debug kernel on roughly 4% of the runs.

nfc: rawsock: cancel tx_work before socket teardown

2026-03-25T10:03:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit d793458c45df2aed498d7f74145eab7ee22d25aa ] In rawsock_release(), cancel any pending tx_work and purge the write queue before orphaning the socket. rawsock_tx_work runs on the system workqueue and calls nfc_data_exchange which dereferences the NCI device. Without synchronization, tx_work can race with socket and device teardown when a process is killed (e.g. by SIGKILL), leading to use-after-free or leaked references. Set SEND_SHUTDOWN first so that if tx_work is already running it will see the flag and skip transmitting, then use cancel_work_sync to wait for any in-progress execution to finish, and finally purge any remaining queued skbs.

nfc: nci: clear NCI_DATA_EXCHANGE before calling completion callback

2026-03-25T10:03:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0efdc02f4f6d52f8ca5d5889560f325a836ce0a8 ] Move clear_bit(NCI_DATA_EXCHANGE) before invoking the data exchange callback in nci_data_exchange_complete(). The callback (e.g. rawsock_data_exchange_complete) may immediately schedule another data exchange via schedule_work(tx_work). On a multi-CPU system, tx_work can run and reach nci_transceive() before the current nci_data_exchange_complete() clears the flag, causing test_and_set_bit(NCI_DATA_EXCHANGE) to return -EBUSY and the new transfer to fail. This causes intermittent flakes in nci/nci_dev in NIPA: # # RUN NCI.NCI1_0.t4t_tag_read ... # # t4t_tag_read: Test terminated by timeout # # FAIL NCI.NCI1_0.t4t_tag_read # not ok 3 NCI.NCI1_0.t4t_tag_read Fixes: 38f04c6b1b68 ("NFC: protect nci_data_exchange transactions") Reviewed-by: Joe Damato Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260303162346.2071888-5-kuba@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

nfc: nci: Fix race between rfkill and nci_unregister_device().

2026-02-06T15:44:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit d2492688bb9fed6ab6e313682c387ae71a66ebae ] syzbot reported the splat below [0] without a repro. It indicates that struct nci_dev.cmd_wq had been destroyed before nci_close_device() was called via rfkill. nci_dev.cmd_wq is only destroyed in nci_unregister_device(), which (I think) was called from virtual_ncidev_close() when syzbot close()d an fd of virtual_ncidev. The problem is that nci_unregister_device() destroys nci_dev.cmd_wq first and then calls nfc_unregister_device(), which removes the device from rfkill by rfkill_unregister(). So, the device is still visible via rfkill even after nci_dev.cmd_wq is destroyed. Let's unregister the device from rfkill first in nci_unregister_device(). Note that we cannot call nfc_unregister_device() before nci_close_device() because 1) nfc_unregister_device() calls device_del() which frees all memory allocated by devm_kzalloc() and linked to ndev->conn_info_list 2) nci_rx_work() could try to queue nci_conn_info to ndev->conn_info_list which could be leaked Thus, nfc_unregister_device() is split into two functions so we can remove rfkill interfaces only before nci_close_device().
