wifi: virt_wifi: remove SET_NETDEV_DEV to avoid use-after-free

2026-04-11T12:29:58+00:00

commit 789b06f9f39cdc7e895bdab2c034e39c41c8f8d6 upstream. Currently we execute `SET_NETDEV_DEV(dev, &priv->lowerdev->dev)` for the virt_wifi net devices. However, unregistering a virt_wifi device in netdev_run_todo() can happen together with the device referenced by SET_NETDEV_DEV(). It can result in use-after-free during the ethtool operations performed on a virt_wifi device that is currently being unregistered. Such a net device can have the `dev.parent` field pointing to the freed memory, but ethnl_ops_begin() calls `pm_runtime_get_sync(dev->dev.parent)`. Let's remove SET_NETDEV_DEV for virt_wifi to avoid bugs like this: ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __pm_runtime_resume+0xe2/0xf0 Read of size 2 at addr ffff88810cfc46f8 by task pm/606 Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl+0x4d/0x70 print_report+0x170/0x4f3 ? __pfx__raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x10/0x10 kasan_report+0xda/0x110 ? __pm_runtime_resume+0xe2/0xf0 ? __pm_runtime_resume+0xe2/0xf0 __pm_runtime_resume+0xe2/0xf0 ethnl_ops_begin+0x49/0x270 ethnl_set_features+0x23c/0xab0 ? __pfx_ethnl_set_features+0x10/0x10 ? kvm_sched_clock_read+0x11/0x20 ? local_clock_noinstr+0xf/0xf0 ? local_clock+0x10/0x30 ? kasan_save_track+0x25/0x60 ? __kasan_kmalloc+0x7f/0x90 ? genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_parse.isra.0+0x150/0x2c0 genl_family_rcv_msg_doit+0x1e7/0x2c0 ? __pfx_genl_family_rcv_msg_doit+0x10/0x10 ? __pfx_cred_has_capability.isra.0+0x10/0x10 ? stack_trace_save+0x8e/0xc0 genl_rcv_msg+0x411/0x660 ? __pfx_genl_rcv_msg+0x10/0x10 ? __pfx_ethnl_set_features+0x10/0x10 netlink_rcv_skb+0x121/0x380 ? __pfx_genl_rcv_msg+0x10/0x10 ? __pfx_netlink_rcv_skb+0x10/0x10 ? __pfx_down_read+0x10/0x10 genl_rcv+0x23/0x30 netlink_unicast+0x60f/0x830 ? __pfx_netlink_unicast+0x10/0x10 ? __pfx___alloc_skb+0x10/0x10 netlink_sendmsg+0x6ea/0xbc0 ? __pfx_netlink_sendmsg+0x10/0x10 ? __futex_queue+0x10b/0x1f0 ____sys_sendmsg+0x7a2/0x950 ? copy_msghdr_from_user+0x26b/0x430 ? __pfx_____sys_sendmsg+0x10/0x10 ? __pfx_copy_msghdr_from_user+0x10/0x10 ___sys_sendmsg+0xf8/0x180 ? __pfx____sys_sendmsg+0x10/0x10 ? __pfx_futex_wait+0x10/0x10 ? fdget+0x2e4/0x4a0 __sys_sendmsg+0x11f/0x1c0 ? __pfx___sys_sendmsg+0x10/0x10 do_syscall_64+0xe2/0x570 ? exc_page_fault+0x66/0xb0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f This fix may be combined with another one in the ethtool subsystem: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260322075917.254874-1-alex.popov@linux.com/T/#u Fixes: d43c65b05b848e0b ("ethtool: runtime-resume netdev parent in ethnl_ops_begin") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Alexander Popov Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Reviewed-by: Breno Leitao Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260324224607.374327-1-alex.popov@linux.com Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: fix potential out-of-bounds read in iwl_mvm_nd_match_info_handler()

commit 744fabc338e87b95c4d1ff7c95bc8c0f834c6d99 upstream. The memcpy function assumes the dynamic array notif->matches is at least as large as the number of bytes to copy. Otherwise, results->matches may contain unwanted data. To guarantee safety, extend the validation in one of the checks to ensure sufficient packet length.

wifi: wilc1000: fix u8 overflow in SSID scan buffer size calculation

2026-04-11T12:29:40+00:00

commit d049e56b1739101d1c4d81deedb269c52a8dbba0 upstream. The variable valuesize is declared as u8 but accumulates the total length of all SSIDs to scan. Each SSID contributes up to 33 bytes (IEEE80211_MAX_SSID_LEN + 1), and with WILC_MAX_NUM_PROBED_SSID (10) SSIDs the total can reach 330, which wraps around to 74 when stored in a u8. This causes kmalloc to allocate only 75 bytes while the subsequent memcpy writes up to 331 bytes into the buffer, resulting in a 256-byte heap buffer overflow. Widen valuesize from u8 to u32 to accommodate the full range.

wifi: ath11k: Pass the correct value of each TID during a stop AMPDU session

2026-04-11T12:29:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit e225b36f83d7926c1f2035923bb0359d851fdb73 ] During ongoing traffic, a request to stop an AMPDU session for one TID could incorrectly affect other active sessions. This can happen because an incorrect TID reference would be passed when updating the BA session state, causing the wrong session to be stopped. As a result, the affected session would be reduced to a minimal BA size, leading to a noticeable throughput degradation. Fix this issue by passing the correct argument from ath11k_dp_rx_ampdu_stop() to ath11k_peer_rx_tid_reo_update() during a stop AMPDU session. Instead of passing peer->tx_tid, which is the base address of the array, corresponding to TID 0; pass the value of &peer->rx_tid[params->tid], where the different TID numbers are accounted for.

wifi: iwlwifi: mld: correctly set wifi generation data

2026-04-11T12:29:22+00:00

[ Upstream commit 687a95d204e72e52f2e6bc7a994cc82f76b2678f ] In each MAC context, the firmware expects the wifi generation data, i.e. whether or not HE/EHT (and in the future UHR) is enabled on that MAC. However, this is currently handled wrong in two ways: - EHT is only enabled when the interface is also an MLD, but we currently allow (despite the spec) connecting with EHT but without MLO. - when HE or EHT are used by TDLS peers, the firmware needs to have them enabled regardless of the AP Fix this by iterating setting up the data depending on the interface type: - for AP, just set it according to the BSS configuration - for monitor, set it according to HW capabilities - otherwise, particularly for client, iterate all stations and then their links on the interface in question and set according to their capabilities, this handles the AP and TDLS peers. Re-calculate this whenever a TDLS station is marked associated or removed so that it's kept updated, for the AP it's already updated on assoc/disassoc.

wifi: iwlwifi: mld: Fix MLO scan timing

2026-04-11T12:29:22+00:00

[ Upstream commit ec66ec6a5a8f53e7c70085749e8d68f4431c630f ] Calculate MLO scan start time based on actual scan start notification from firmware instead of recording time when scan command is sent. Currently, MLO scan start time was captured immediately after sending the scan command to firmware. However, the actual scan start time may differ due to the FW being busy with a previous scan. In that case, the link selection code will think that the MLO scan is too old, and will warn. To fix it, Implement start scan notification handling to capture the precise moment when firmware begins the scan operation.

wifi: mac80211: always free skb on ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() failure

2026-03-25T10:13:28+00:00

[ Upstream commit d5ad6ab61cbd89afdb60881f6274f74328af3ee9 ] ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() has three error paths, but only two of them free the skb. The first error path (ieee80211_tx_prepare() returning TX_DROP) does not free it, while invoke_tx_handlers() failure and the fragmentation check both do. Add kfree_skb() to the first error path so all three are consistent, and remove the now-redundant frees in callers (ath9k, mt76, mac80211_hwsim) to avoid double-free. Document the skb ownership guarantee in the function's kdoc.

wifi: wlcore: Return -ENOMEM instead of -EAGAIN if there is not enough headroom

2026-03-25T10:13:27+00:00

[ Upstream commit deb353d9bb009638b7762cae2d0b6e8fdbb41a69 ] Since upstream commit e75665dd0968 ("wifi: wlcore: ensure skb headroom before skb_push"), wl1271_tx_allocate() and with it wl1271_prepare_tx_frame() returns -EAGAIN if pskb_expand_head() fails. However, in wlcore_tx_work_locked(), a return value of -EAGAIN from wl1271_prepare_tx_frame() is interpreted as the aggregation buffer being full. This causes the code to flush the buffer, put the skb back at the head of the queue, and immediately retry the same skb in a tight while loop. Because wlcore_tx_work_locked() holds wl->mutex, and the retry happens immediately with GFP_ATOMIC, this will result in an infinite loop and a CPU soft lockup. Return -ENOMEM instead so the packet is dropped and the loop terminates. The problem was found by an experimental code review agent based on gemini-3.1-pro while reviewing backports into v6.18.y.
