nfc: llcp: fix WKS SAP hijacking via prefix match in nfc_llcp_wks_sap()

Published Oct 18, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfc: llcp: fix WKS SAP hijacking via prefix match in nfc_llcp_wks_sap()

nfc_llcp_wks_sap() compares only service_name_len bytes, so a short
service_name like "u" matches longer WKS strings like "urn:nfc:sn:snep".
Fix by requiring exact length match before strncmp().
