wifi: cfg80211: regulatory: improve invalid hints checking

2025-03-13T11:51:02+00:00

commit 59b348be7597c4a9903cb003c69e37df20c04a30 upstream. Syzbot keeps reporting an issue [1] that occurs when erroneous symbols sent from userspace get through into user_alpha2[] via regulatory_hint_user() call. Such invalid regulatory hints should be rejected. While a sanity check from commit 47caf685a685 ("cfg80211: regulatory: reject invalid hints") looks to be enough to deter these very cases, there is a way to get around it due to 2 reasons. 1) The way isalpha() works, symbols other than latin lower and upper letters may be used to determine a country/domain. For instance, greek letters will also be considered upper/lower letters and for such characters isalpha() will return true as well. However, ISO-3166-1 alpha2 codes should only hold latin characters. 2) While processing a user regulatory request, between reg_process_hint_user() and regulatory_hint_user() there happens to be a call to queue_regulatory_request() which modifies letters in request->alpha2[] with toupper(). This works fine for latin symbols, less so for weird letter characters from the second part of _ctype[]. Syzbot triggers a warning in is_user_regdom_saved() by first sending over an unexpected non-latin letter that gets malformed by toupper() into a character that ends up failing isalpha() check. Prevent this by enhancing is_an_alpha2() to ensure that incoming symbols are latin letters and nothing else.

wifi: cfg80211: fix double lock bug in reg_wdev_chan_valid()

2023-06-21T13:59:14+00:00

commit 996c3117dae4c02b38a3cb68e5c2aec9d907ec15 upstream. The locking was changed recently so now the caller holds the wiphy_lock() lock. Taking the lock inside the reg_wdev_chan_valid() function will lead to a deadlock.

commit f7e60032c6618dfd643c7210d5cba2789e2de2e2 upstream. This should use wiphy_lock() now instead of requiring the RTNL, since __cfg80211_leave() via cfg80211_leave() is now requiring that lock to be held.

cfg80211: use wiphy DFS domain if it is self-managed

2021-08-26T09:04:55+00:00

Currently during CAC start or other radar events, the DFS domain is fetched from cfg based on global DFS domain, even if the wiphy regdomain disagrees. But this could be different in case of self managed wiphy's in case the self managed driver updates its database or supports regions which has DFS domain set to UNSET in cfg80211 local regdomain. So for explicitly self-managed wiphys, just use their DFS domain.

cfg80211: set custom regdomain after wiphy registration

2021-06-23T11:05:09+00:00

We used to set regulatory info before the registration of the device and then the regulatory info didn't get set, because the device isn't registered so there isn't a device to set the regulatory info for. So set the regulatory info after the device registration. Call reg_process_self_managed_hints() once again after the device registration because it does nothing before it.
