nfc: pn533: Add poll mod list filling check
In case of im_protocols value is 1 and tm_protocols value is 0 this
combination successfully passes the check
'if (!im_protocols && !tm_protocols)' in the nfc_start_poll().
But then after pn533_poll_create_mod_list() call in pn533_start_poll()
poll mod list will remain empty and dev->poll_mod_count will remain 0
which lead to division by zero.
Normally no im protocol has value 1 in the mask, so this combination is
not expected by driver. But these protocol values actually come from
userspace via Netlink interface (NFC_CMD_START_POLL operation). So a
broken or malicious program may pass a message containing a "bad"
combination of protocol parameter values so that dev->poll_mod_count
is not incremented inside pn533_poll_create_mod_list(), thus leading
to division by zero.
Call trace looks like:
nfc_genl_start_poll()
nfc_start_poll()
->start_poll()
pn533_start_poll()
