commit 7c9cbd0b5e38a1672fcd137894ace3b042dfbf69 upstream. The function l2cap_get_conf_opt will return L2CAP_CONF_OPT_SIZE + opt->len as length value. The opt->len however is in control over the remote user and can be used by an attacker to gain access beyond the bounds of the actual packet. To prevent any potential leak of heap memory, it is enough to check that the resulting len calculation after calling l2cap_get_conf_opt is not below zero. A well formed packet will always return >= 0 here and will end with the length value being zero after the last option has been parsed. In case of malformed packets messing with the opt->len field the length value will become negative. If that is the case, then just abort and ignore the option. In case an attacker uses a too short opt->len value, then garbage will be parsed, but that is protected by the unknown option handling and also the option parameter size checks.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
