wifi: rtw88: fix OOB read from firmware RX descriptor exceeding DMA buffer

2026-07-24T13:48:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6e76e9ed273dfb4b3333a5ebbb94958cc5752ab6 ] In rtw_pci_rx_napi(), new_len is computed as the sum of pkt_len (14-bit descriptor field, max 16383) and pkt_offset (drv_info_sz + shift, both firmware-controlled). The result can exceed RTK_PCI_RX_BUF_SIZE (11478), causing an out-of-bounds read from the pre-allocated DMA buffer when skb_put_data copies new_len bytes. The USB transport already validates this (rtw_usb_rx_data_put checks against RTW_USB_MAX_RECVBUF_SZ); the PCIe path does not. Add a check that new_len does not exceed the DMA buffer size.

wifi: rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix C2H bit location in RX descriptor

2026-07-04T11:38:40+00:00

commit 83d38df6929118c3f996b9e3351c2d5014073d87 upstream. Bit 28 of double word 2 in the RX descriptor indicates if the packet is a normal 802.11 frame, or a message from the wifi firmware to the driver (Card 2 Host). Commit f5678bfe1cdc ("rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Replace local bit manipulation macros") mistakenly made the driver look for this bit in double word 1, causing packet loss and Bluetooth coexistence problems.

wifi: rtlwifi: pci: fix possible use-after-free caused by unfinished irq_prepare_bcn_tasklet

2026-06-01T15:29:30+00:00

[ Upstream commit 039cd522dc70151da13329a5e3ae19b1736f468a ] The irq_prepare_bcn_tasklet is initialized in rtl_pci_init() and scheduled when RTL_IMR_BCNINT interrupt is triggered by hardware. But it is never killed in rtl_pci_deinit(). When the rtlwifi card probe fails or is being detached, the ieee80211_hw is deallocated. However, irq_prepare_bcn_tasklet may still be running or pending, leading to use-after-free when the freed ieee80211_hw is accessed in _rtl_pci_prepare_bcn_tasklet(). Similar to irq_tasklet, add tasklet_kill() in rtl_pci_deinit() to ensure that irq_prepare_bcn_tasklet is properly terminated before the ieee80211_hw is released. The issue was identified through static analysis.

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.
