net: usb: asix: validate PHY address before use
[ Upstream commit a1e077a3f76eea0dc671ed6792e7d543946227e8 ]
The ASIX driver reads the PHY address from the USB device via
asix_read_phy_addr(). A malicious or faulty device can return an
invalid address (>= PHY_MAX_ADDR), which causes a warning in
mdiobus_get_phy():
addr 207 out of range
WARNING: drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c:76
Validate the PHY address in asix_read_phy_addr() and remove the
now-redundant check in ax88172a.c.
Reported-by: syzbot+3d43c9066a5b54902232@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=3d43c9066a5b54902232
Tested-by: syzbot+3d43c9066a5b54902232@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Fixes: 7e88b11a862a ("net: usb: asix: refactor asix_read_phy_addr() and handle errors on return")
