wifi: cfg80211: fix use-after-free in cmp_bss()

wifi: cfg80211: fix out-of-bounds access during multi-link element defragmentation

2025-05-18T06:24:04+00:00

commit 023c1f2f0609218103cbcb48e0104b144d4a16dc upstream. Currently during the multi-link element defragmentation process, the multi-link element length added to the total IEs length when calculating the length of remaining IEs after the multi-link element in cfg80211_defrag_mle(). This could lead to out-of-bounds access if the multi-link element or its corresponding fragment elements are the last elements in the IEs buffer. To address this issue, correctly calculate the remaining IEs length by deducting the multi-link element end offset from total IEs end offset.

wifi: cfg80211: adjust allocation of colocated AP data

[ Upstream commit 1a0d24775cdee2b8dc14bfa4f4418c930ab1ac57 ] In 'cfg80211_scan_6ghz()', an instances of 'struct cfg80211_colocated_ap' are allocated as if they would have 'ssid' as trailing VLA member. Since this is not so, extra IEEE80211_MAX_SSID_LEN bytes are not needed. Briefly tested with KUnit.

wifi: cfg80211: Handle specific BSSID in 6GHz scanning

2025-02-08T08:52:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0fca7784b7a14d4ede64f479662afb98876ec7f8 ] When the scan parameters for a 6GHz scan specify a unicast BSSID address, and the corresponding AP is found in the scan list, add a corresponding entry in the collocated AP list, so this AP would be directly probed even if it was not advertised as a collocated AP. This is needed for handling a scan request that is intended for a ML probe flow, where user space can requests a scan to retrieve information for other links in the AP MLD.

[ Upstream commit a26a5107bc52922cf5f67361e307ad66547b51c7 ] Looking at https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=1a3986bbd3169c307819 and running reproducer with CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS, I've noticed the following: [ T4985] UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in net/wireless/scan.c:3479:25 [ T4985] index 164 is out of range for type 'struct ieee80211_channel *[]' <...skipped...> [ T4985] Call Trace: [ T4985] [ T4985] dump_stack_lvl+0x1c2/0x2a0 [ T4985] ? __pfx_dump_stack_lvl+0x10/0x10 [ T4985] ? __pfx__printk+0x10/0x10 [ T4985] __ubsan_handle_out_of_bounds+0x127/0x150 [ T4985] cfg80211_wext_siwscan+0x11a4/0x1260 <...the rest is not too useful...> Even if we do 'creq->n_channels = n_channels' before 'creq->ssids = (void *)&creq->channels[n_channels]', UBSAN treats the latter as off-by-one error. Fix this by using pointer arithmetic rather than an expression with explicit array indexing and use convenient 'struct_size()' to simplify the math here and in 'kzalloc()' above.

wifi: cfg80211: make hash table duplicates more survivable

2024-09-08T05:54:47+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7f12e26a194d0043441f870708093d9c2c3bad7d ] Jiazi Li reported that they occasionally see hash table duplicates as evidenced by the WARN_ON() in rb_insert_bss() in this code. It isn't clear how that happens, nor have I been able to reproduce it, but if it does happen, the kernel crashes later, when it tries to unhash the entry that's now not hashed. Try to make this situation more survivable by removing the BSS from the list(s) as well, that way it's fully leaked here (as had been the intent in the hash insert error path), and no longer reachable through the list(s) so it shouldn't be unhashed again later.

wifi: cfg80211: wext: set ssids=NULL for passive scans

2024-07-25T07:50:57+00:00

commit 0941772342d59e48733131ac3a202fa1a4d832e9 upstream. In nl80211, we always set the ssids of a scan request to NULL when n_ssids==0 (passive scan). Drivers have relied on this behaviour in the past, so we fixed it in 6 GHz scan requests as well, and added a warning so we'd have assurance the API would always be called that way. syzbot found that wext doesn't ensure that, so we reach the check and trigger the warning. Fix the wext code to set the ssids pointer to NULL when there are none.

wifi: cfg80211: fix 6 GHz scan request building

2024-07-25T07:50:41+00:00

[ Upstream commit f7a8b10bfd614d7a9a16fbe80d28ead4f063cb00 ] The 6 GHz scan request struct allocated by cfg80211_scan_6ghz() is meant to be formed this way: [base struct][channels][ssids][6ghz_params] It is allocated with [channels] as the maximum number of channels supported by the driver in the 6 GHz band, since allocation is before knowing how many there will be. However, the inner pointers are set incorrectly: initially, the 6 GHz scan parameters pointer is set: [base struct][channels] ^ scan_6ghz_params and later the SSID pointer is set to the end of the actually _used_ channels. [base struct][channels] ^ ssids If many APs were to be discovered, and many channels used, and there were many SSIDs, then the SSIDs could overlap the 6 GHz parameters. Additionally, the request->ssids for most of the function points to the original request still (given the struct copy) but is used normally, which is confusing. Clear this up, by actually using the allocated space for 6 GHz parameters _after_ the SSIDs, and set up the SSIDs initially so they are used more clearly. Just like in nl80211.c, set them only if there actually are SSIDs though. Finally, also copy the elements (ie/ie_len) so they're part of the same request, not pointing to the old request.
