nl80211: check for the required netlink attributes presence

2017-10-05T07:35:52+00:00

commit e785fa0a164aa11001cba931367c7f94ffaff888 upstream. nl80211_set_rekey_data() does not check if the required attributes NL80211_REKEY_DATA_{REPLAY_CTR,KEK,KCK} are present when processing NL80211_CMD_SET_REKEY_OFFLOAD request. This request can be issued by users with CAP_NET_ADMIN privilege and may result in NULL dereference and a system crash. Add a check for the required attributes presence. This patch is based on the patch by bo Zhang. This fixes CVE-2017-12153.

cfg80211: Check if PMKID attribute is of expected size

2017-07-21T06:12:22+00:00

commit 9361df14d1cbf966409d5d6f48bb334384fbe138 upstream. nla policy checks for only maximum length of the attribute data when the attribute type is NLA_BINARY. If userspace sends less data than specified, the wireless drivers may access illegal memory. When type is NLA_UNSPEC, nla policy check ensures that userspace sends minimum specified length number of bytes. Remove type assignment to NLA_BINARY from nla_policy of NL80211_ATTR_PMKID to make this NLA_UNSPEC and to make sure minimum WLAN_PMKID_LEN bytes are received from userspace with NL80211_ATTR_PMKID.

cfg80211: Validate frequencies nested in NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_FREQUENCIES

2017-07-21T06:12:21+00:00

commit d7f13f7450369281a5d0ea463cc69890a15923ae upstream. validate_scan_freqs() retrieves frequencies from attributes nested in the attribute NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_FREQUENCIES with nla_get_u32(), which reads 4 bytes from each attribute without validating the size of data received. Attributes nested in NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_FREQUENCIES don't have an nla policy. Validate size of each attribute before parsing to avoid potential buffer overread.

cfg80211: Define nla_policy for NL80211_ATTR_LOCAL_MESH_POWER_MODE

2017-07-21T06:12:21+00:00

commit 8feb69c7bd89513be80eb19198d48f154b254021 upstream. Buffer overread may happen as nl80211_set_station() reads 4 bytes from the attribute NL80211_ATTR_LOCAL_MESH_POWER_MODE without validating the size of data received when userspace sends less than 4 bytes of data with NL80211_ATTR_LOCAL_MESH_POWER_MODE. Define nla_policy for NL80211_ATTR_LOCAL_MESH_POWER_MODE to avoid the buffer overread.

nl80211: validate number of probe response CSA counters

2016-10-06T02:40:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit ad5987b47e96a0fb6d13fea250e936aed000093c ] Due to an apparent copy/paste bug, the number of counters for the beacon configuration were checked twice, instead of checking the number of probe response counters. Fix this to check the number of probe response counters before parsing those.

Revert "wext: Fix 32 bit iwpriv compatibility issue with 64 bit Kernel"

2016-10-04T04:44:50+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4d0bd46a4d55383f7b925e6cf7865a77e0f0e020 ] This reverts commit 3d5fdff46c4b2b9534fa2f9fc78e90a48e0ff724. Ben Hutchings pointed out that the commit isn't safe since it assumes that the structure used by the driver is iw_point, when in fact there's no way to know about that. Fortunately, the only driver in the tree that ever runs this code path is the wilc1000 staging driver, so it doesn't really matter. Clearly I should have investigated this better before applying, sorry.

wext: Fix 32 bit iwpriv compatibility issue with 64 bit Kernel

2016-06-20T03:47:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3d5fdff46c4b2b9534fa2f9fc78e90a48e0ff724 ] iwpriv app uses iw_point structure to send data to Kernel. The iw_point structure holds a pointer. For compatibility Kernel converts the pointer as required for WEXT IOCTLs (SIOCIWFIRST to SIOCIWLAST). Some drivers may use iw_handler_def.private_args to populate iwpriv commands instead of iw_handler_def.private. For those case, the IOCTLs from SIOCIWFIRSTPRIV to SIOCIWLASTPRIV will follow the path ndo_do_ioctl(). Accordingly when the filled up iw_point structure comes from 32 bit iwpriv to 64 bit Kernel, Kernel will not convert the pointer and sends it to driver. So, the driver may get the invalid data. The pointer conversion for the IOCTLs (SIOCIWFIRSTPRIV to SIOCIWLASTPRIV), which follow the path ndo_do_ioctl(), is mandatory. This patch adds pointer conversion from 32 bit to 64 bit and vice versa, if the ioctl comes from 32 bit iwpriv to 64 bit Kernel.

nl80211: check netlink protocol in socket release notification

2016-05-09T01:21:50+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8f815cdde3e550e10c2736990d791f60c2ce43eb ] A non-privileged user can create a netlink socket with the same port_id as used by an existing open nl80211 netlink socket (e.g. as used by a hostapd process) with a different protocol number. Closing this socket will then lead to the notification going to nl80211's socket release notification handler, and possibly cause an action such as removing a virtual interface. Fix this issue by checking that the netlink protocol is NETLINK_GENERIC. Since generic netlink has no notifier chain of its own, we can't fix the problem more generically.

cfg80211/wext: fix message ordering

2016-03-21T02:13:50+00:00

[ Upstream commit cb150b9d23be6ee7f3a0fff29784f1c5b5ac514d ] Since cfg80211 frequently takes actions from its netdev notifier call, wireless extensions messages could still be ordered badly since the wext netdev notifier, since wext is built into the kernel, runs before the cfg80211 netdev notifier. For example, the following can happen: 5: wlan1: mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: wlan1: link/ether when setting the interface down causes the wext message. To also fix this, export the wireless_nlevent_flush() function and also call it from the cfg80211 notifier. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

wext: fix message delay/ordering

2016-03-21T02:13:45+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8bf862739a7786ae72409220914df960a0aa80d8 ] Beniamino reported that he was getting an RTM_NEWLINK message for a given interface, after the RTM_DELLINK for it. It turns out that the message is a wireless extensions message, which was sent because the interface had been connected and disconnection while it was deleted caused a wext message. For its netlink messages, wext uses RTM_NEWLINK, but the message is without all the regular rtnetlink attributes, so "ip monitor link" prints just rudimentary information: 5: wlan1: mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Deleted 5: wlan1: mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: wlan1: link/ether (from my hwsim reproduction) This can cause userspace to get confused since it doesn't expect an RTM_NEWLINK message after RTM_DELLINK. The reason for this is that wext schedules a worker to send out the messages, and the scheduling delay can cause the messages to get out to userspace in different order. To fix this, have wext register a netdevice notifier and flush out any pending messages when netdevice state changes. This fixes any ordering whenever the original message wasn't sent by a notifier itself.
