Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's PN533 NFC (Near Field Communication) driver. An attacker capable of connecting a malicious or malfunctioning USB device can supply a crafted response frame with an arbitrary data length value. Because the driver fails to validate this length against maximum frame boundaries before indexing the buffer, an out-of-bounds read occurs, potentially causing a Denial of Service (DoS) via system crash or disclosing sensitive kernel memory.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-18 15:33:58 UTC

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfc: pn533: fix OOB read in pn533_acr122_is_rx_frame_valid()

frame->ccid.datalen is read directly from the USB response frame
and used, unchecked, as an index into frame->data[]. A malicious or
malfunctioning device can set this field to an arbitrary value,
causing the driver to read far outside the received buffer.

Bound ccid.datalen against the maximum possible ACR122 frame size
before using it. This replaces the existing datalen == 0 check,
since datalen < 2 already covers that case and additionally
rejects datalen == 1, which would still underflow the
"datalen - 2" offset used below.
