CVE-2026-98482

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: llcp: drop truncated I/RR/RNR PDUs in nfc_llcp_recv_hdlc() nfc_llcp_recv_hdlc() reads the sequence byte skb->data[2], via nfc_llcp_ns()/nfc_llcp_nr(), before any length check. The receive path only guarantees the two-byte LLCP header -- __nfc_llcp_recv() checks it with pskb_may_pull() and nfc_llcp_recv_agf() admits two-byte inner PDUs -- so a two-byte I, RR or RNR PDU reads one byte of uninitialised skb tailroom. The byte becomes N(R)/N(S); a peer can already set those with a well-formed PDU, so this is acting on uninitialised memory, not new peer control. Guard the read with pskb_may_pull(), as commit 95674f506c63 ("nfc: llcp: reject PDUs shorter than the LLCP header") did for the two-byte header, so the sequence byte is present and linear before it is read. RR and RNR PDUs are LLCP_HEADER_SIZE + LLCP_SEQUENCE_SIZE bytes and an I PDU is longer, so no valid frame is rejected; a truncated PDU is malformed, so return without a DM reply.
