wifi: cfg80211: Fix bitrate calculation overflow for HE rates

2026-02-11T12:34:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit a3034bf0746d88a00cceda9541534a5721445a24 ] An integer overflow occurs in cfg80211_calculate_bitrate_he() when calculating bitrates for high throughput HE configurations. For example, with 160 MHz bandwidth, HE-MCS 13, HE-NSS 4, and HE-GI 0, the multiplication (result * rate->nss) overflows the 32-bit 'result' variable before division by 8, leading to significantly underestimated bitrate values. The overflow occurs because the NSS multiplication operates on a 32-bit integer that cannot accommodate intermediate values exceeding 4,294,967,295. When overflow happens, the value wraps around, producing incorrect bitrates for high MCS and NSS combinations. Fix this by utilizing the 64-bit 'tmp' variable for the NSS multiplication and subsequent divisions via do_div(). This approach preserves full precision throughout the entire calculation, with the final value assigned to 'result' only after completing all operations.

cfg80211: call cfg80211_stop_ap when switch from P2P_GO type

2021-11-26T09:39:20+00:00

commit 563fbefed46ae4c1f70cffb8eb54c02df480b2c2 upstream. If the userspace tools switch from NL80211_IFTYPE_P2P_GO to NL80211_IFTYPE_ADHOC via send_msg(NL80211_CMD_SET_INTERFACE), it does not call the cleanup cfg80211_stop_ap(), this leads to the initialization of in-use data. For example, this path re-init the sdata->assigned_chanctx_list while it is still an element of assigned_vifs list, and makes that linked list corrupt.

cfg80211: call cfg80211_leave_ocb when switching away from OCB

2021-06-30T12:47:19+00:00

[ Upstream commit a64b6a25dd9f984ed05fade603a00e2eae787d2f ] If the userland switches back-and-forth between NL80211_IFTYPE_OCB and NL80211_IFTYPE_ADHOC via send_msg(NL80211_CMD_SET_INTERFACE), there is a chance where the cleanup cfg80211_leave_ocb() is not called. This leads to initialization of in-use memory (e.g. init u.ibss while in-use by u.ocb) due to a shared struct/union within ieee80211_sub_if_data: struct ieee80211_sub_if_data { ... union { struct ieee80211_if_ap ap; struct ieee80211_if_vlan vlan; struct ieee80211_if_managed mgd; struct ieee80211_if_ibss ibss; // <- shares address struct ieee80211_if_mesh mesh; struct ieee80211_if_ocb ocb; // <- shares address struct ieee80211_if_mntr mntr; struct ieee80211_if_nan nan; } u; ... } Therefore add handling of otype == NL80211_IFTYPE_OCB, during cfg80211_change_iface() to perform cleanup when leaving OCB mode. link to syzkaller bug: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=0612dbfa595bf4b9b680ff7b4948257b8e3732d5 Reported-by: syzbot+105896fac213f26056f9@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Signed-off-by: Du Cheng Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210428063941.105161-1-ducheng2@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

cfg80211: mitigate A-MSDU aggregation attacks

2021-06-03T07:00:29+00:00

commit 2b8a1fee3488c602aca8bea004a087e60806a5cf upstream. Mitigate A-MSDU injection attacks (CVE-2020-24588) by detecting if the destination address of a subframe equals an RFC1042 (i.e., LLC/SNAP) header, and if so dropping the complete A-MSDU frame. This mitigates known attacks, although new (unknown) aggregation-based attacks may remain possible. This defense works because in A-MSDU aggregation injection attacks, a normal encrypted Wi-Fi frame is turned into an A-MSDU frame. This means the first 6 bytes of the first A-MSDU subframe correspond to an RFC1042 header. In other words, the destination MAC address of the first A-MSDU subframe contains the start of an RFC1042 header during an aggregation attack. We can detect this and thereby prevent this specific attack. For details, see Section 7.2 of "Fragment and Forge: Breaking Wi-Fi Through Frame Aggregation and Fragmentation". Note that for kernel 4.9 and above this patch depends on "mac80211: properly handle A-MSDUs that start with a rfc1042 header". Otherwise this patch has no impact and attacks will remain possible.

mac80211: properly handle A-MSDUs that start with an RFC 1042 header

commit a1d5ff5651ea592c67054233b14b30bf4452999c upstream. Properly parse A-MSDUs whose first 6 bytes happen to equal a rfc1042 header. This can occur in practice when the destination MAC address equals AA:AA:03:00:00:00. More importantly, this simplifies the next patch to mitigate A-MSDU injection attacks.

nl80211: validate key indexes for cfg80211_registered_device

2020-12-26T15:02:45+00:00

commit 2d9463083ce92636a1bdd3e30d1236e3e95d859e upstream. syzbot discovered a bug in which an OOB access was being made because an unsuitable key_idx value was wrongly considered to be acceptable while deleting a key in nl80211_del_key(). Since we don't know the cipher at the time of deletion, if cfg80211_validate_key_settings() were to be called directly in nl80211_del_key(), even valid keys would be wrongly determined invalid, and deletion wouldn't occur correctly. For this reason, a new function - cfg80211_valid_key_idx(), has been created, to determine if the key_idx value provided is valid or not. cfg80211_valid_key_idx() is directly called in 2 places - nl80211_del_key(), and cfg80211_validate_key_settings().

Two minor conflicts: 1) net/ipv4/route.c, adding a new local variable while moving another local variable and removing it's initial assignment. 2) drivers/net/dsa/microchip/ksz9477.c, overlapping changes. One pretty prints the port mode differently, whilst another changes the driver to try and obtain the port mode from the port node rather than the switch node. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
