In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: nfc: nci: Add parameter validation for packet data
Syzbot reported an uninitialized value bug in nci_init_req, which was introduced by commit 5aca7966d2a7 ("Merge tag 'perf-tools-fixes-for-v6.17-2025-09-16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools").
This bug arises due to very limited and poor input validation
that was done at nic_valid_size(). This validation only
validates the skb->len (directly reflects size provided at the
userspace interface) with the length provided in the buffer
itself (interpreted as NCI_HEADER). This leads to the processing
of memory content at the address assuming the correct layout
per what opcode requires there. This leads to the accesses to
buffer of skb_buff->data which is not assigned anything yet.
Following the same silent drop of packets of invalid sizes at
nic_valid_size(), add validation of the data in the respective
handlers and return error val
