The ISO_CONT case in iso_recv() properly checks for unexpected
continuation frames and oversized fragments before accessing
conn->rx_skb. The ISO_END case lacks both checks.

When an ISO_END packet arrives without a preceding ISO_START:

  • conn->rx_skb is NULL (never allocated)
  • skb_put(conn->rx_skb, ...) dereferences NULL -> kernel crash

When an ISO_END fragment length does not exactly match the
remaining expected length:

  • the reassembly is malformed and must be rejected

KASAN confirmed the NULL-deref on kernel 7.0.0-rc5 via VHCI:

general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000018
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x00000000000000c0-0x00000000000000c7]

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

Fix by adding validation to the ISO_END case: reject end frames
when no rx_skb reassembly buffer exists, and reject end fragments
whose length does not exactly complete the expected reassembly.

Changes in v3:

  • Check !conn->rx_skb instead of !conn->rx_len to correctly
    handle the case where an ISO_CONT fragment completes rx_len
    but a valid zero-length ISO_END still follows.

Changes in v2:

  • Tighten end fragment check from (skb->len > conn->rx_len) to
    (skb->len != conn->rx_len): the end fragment must exactly
    complete the reassembly.
