wifi: rtl818x: rtl8187: Fix potential buffer underflow in rtl8187_rx_cb()

2026-01-19T12:11:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit b647d2574e4583c2e3b0ab35568f60c88e910840 ] The rtl8187_rx_cb() calculates the rx descriptor header address by subtracting its size from the skb tail pointer. However, it does not validate if the received packet (skb->len from urb->actual_length) is large enough to contain this header. If a truncated packet is received, this will lead to a buffer underflow, reading memory before the start of the skb data area, and causing a kernel panic. Add length checks for both rtl8187 and rtl8187b descriptor headers before attempting to access them, dropping the packet cleanly if the check fails.

wifi: rtl818x: Fix potential memory leaks in rtl8180_init_rx_ring()

2026-01-19T12:11:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9b5b9c042b30befc5b37e4539ace95af70843473 ] In rtl8180_init_rx_ring(), memory is allocated for skb packets and DMA allocations in a loop. When an allocation fails, the previously successful allocations are not freed on exit. Fix that by jumping to err_free_rings label on error, which calls rtl8180_free_rx_ring() to free the allocations. Remove the free of rx_ring in rtl8180_init_rx_ring() error path, and set the freed priv->rx_buf entry to null, to avoid double free.

wifi: rtl8xxxu: Fix RX skb size for aggregation disabled

As a result, if a frame near the maximum size is received, rtl8xxxu_rx_complete() is called with status -EOVERFLOW and then the driver starts to malfunction and no further communication is possible. Restore the skb size in the aggregation disabled case.

wifi: rtlwifi: disable ASPM for RTL8723BE with subsystem ID 11ad:1723

2025-06-27T10:04:12+00:00

commit 77a6407c6ab240527166fb19ee96e95f5be4d3cd upstream. RTL8723BE found on some ASUSTek laptops, such as F441U and X555UQ with subsystem ID 11ad:1723 are known to output large amounts of PCIe AER errors during and after boot up, causing heavy lags and at times lock-ups: pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: AER: Correctable error message received from 0000:00:1c.5 pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Correctable, type=Physical Layer, (Receiver ID) pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: device [8086:9d15] error status/mask=00000001/00002000 pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: [ 0] RxErr Disable ASPM on this combo as a quirk. This patch is a revision of a previous patch (linked below) which attempted to disable ASPM for RTL8723BE on all Intel Skylake and Kaby Lake PCIe bridges. I take a more conservative approach as all known reports point to ASUSTek laptops of these two generations with this particular wireless card. Please note, however, before the rtl8723be finishes probing, the AER errors remained. After the module finishes probing, all AER errors would indeed be eliminated, along with heavy lags, poor network throughput, and/or occasional lock-ups.
