cfg80211: Fix busy loop regression in ieee80211_ie_split_ric()

2018-12-05T11:51:29+00:00

This function was modified to support the information element extension case (WLAN_EID_EXTENSION) in a manner that would result in an infinite loop when going through set of IEs that include WLAN_EID_RIC_DATA and contain an IE that is in the after_ric array. The only place where this can currently happen is in mac80211 ieee80211_send_assoc() where ieee80211_ie_split_ric() is called with after_ric[]. This can be triggered by valid data from user space nl80211 association/connect request (i.e., requiring GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM). The only known application having an option to include WLAN_EID_RIC_DATA in these requests is wpa_supplicant and it had a bug that prevented this specific contents from being used (and because of that, not triggering this kernel bug in an automated test case ap_ft_ric) and now that this bug is fixed, it has a workaround to avoid this kernel issue. WLAN_EID_RIC_DATA is currently used only for testing purposes, so this does not cause significant harm for production use cases.

Johannes Berg says: ==================== Here are quite a large number of fixes, notably: * various A-MSDU building fixes (currently only affects mt76) * syzkaller & spectre fixes in hwsim * TXQ vs. teardown fix that was causing crashes * embed WMM info in reg rule, bad code here had been causing crashes * one compilation issue with fix from Arnd (rfkill-gpio includes) * fixes for a race and bad data during/after channel switch * nl80211: a validation fix, attribute type & unit fixes along with other small fixes. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

cfg80211: fix a type issue in ieee80211_chandef_to_operating_class()

2018-09-03T08:34:12+00:00

The "chandef->center_freq1" variable is a u32 but "freq" is a u16 so we are truncating away the high bits. I noticed this bug because in commit 9cf0a0b4b64a ("cfg80211: Add support for 60GHz band channels 5 and 6") we made "freq <= 56160 + 2160 * 6" a valid requency when before it was only "freq <= 56160 + 2160 * 4" that was valid. It introduces a static checker warning: net/wireless/util.c:1571 ieee80211_chandef_to_operating_class() warn: always true condition '(freq <= 56160 + 2160 * 6) => (0-u16max <= 69120)' But really we probably shouldn't have been truncating the high bits away to begin with.

cfg80211: Add support for 60GHz band channels 5 and 6

2018-08-28T09:23:08+00:00

The current support in the 60GHz band is for channels 1-4. Add support for channels 5 and 6. This requires enlarging ieee80211_channel.center_freq from u16 to u32. Signed-off-by: Alexei Avshalom Lazar Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

Small merge conflict in net/mac80211/scan.c, I preserved the kcalloc() conversion. -DaveM Johannes Berg says: ==================== This round's updates: * finally some of the promised HE code, but it turns out to be small - but everything kept changing, so one part I did in the driver was >30 patches for what was ultimately <200 lines of code ... similar here for this code. * improved scan privacy support - can now specify scan flags for randomizing the sequence number as well as reducing the probe request element content * rfkill cleanups * a timekeeping cleanup from Arnd * various other cleanups ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

The arguments should be (# of elements, size of each) instead of the other way around, which really ends up being mostly equivalent but smatch complains about it, so swap them. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg
