[PATCH] nfc: st-nci: Fix an incorrect skb_buff size in 'st_nci_i2c_read()'

From: Christophe JAILLET
Date: Tue Aug 06 2019 - 10:17:36 EST


In 'st_nci_i2c_read()', we allocate a sk_buff with a size of
ST_NCI_I2C_MIN_SIZE + len.

However, later on, we first 'skb_reserve()' ST_NCI_I2C_MIN_SIZE bytes, then
we 'skb_put()' ST_NCI_I2C_MIN_SIZE bytes.
Finally, if 'len' is not 0, we 'skb_put()' 'len' bytes.

So we use ST_NCI_I2C_MIN_SIZE*2 + len bytes.

This is incorrect and should already panic. I guess that it does not occur
because of extra memory allocated because of some rounding.

Fix it and allocate enough room for the 'skb_reserve()' and the 'skb_put()'
calls.

This patch is LIKELY INCORRECT. So think twice to what is the correct
solution before applying it.
Maybe the skb_reserve should be axed or some other sizes are incorrect.
There seems to be an issue, that's all I can say.
