Depending on how much tailroom slack the SKB allocation happens to\ncarry, that read can also extend past the end of the buffer.\n\nCompute the padded length up front, ensure the SKB has tailroom for it,\nand zero-fill the padding with skb_put_zero(). skb->len then covers the\npadding, so sdio_writesb() no longer needs to round up. byte_tx keeps\ncounting the header and the payload only, and the error path restores the\nSKB so that the caller can requeue it.\n\nWriting behind skb->tail is only safe because the driver owns the buffer,\nwhich \"Bluetooth: btmtksdio: Take exclusive ownership of the SKB before\nTX\" ensures.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":3,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":2.8,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
