wifi: nl80211: reject oversized EMA RNR lists

2026-06-19T11:48:02+00:00

commit 4cd92957e8f8cc4ebfe8a5d4203c14c592fde6b1 upstream. nl80211_parse_rnr_elems() stores the parsed element count in a u8-backed cfg80211_rnr_elems::cnt field and uses that count to size the flexible array allocation. Reject nested NL80211_ATTR_EMA_RNR_ELEMS input once the count reaches 255, before incrementing it again. This keeps the parser aligned with the data structure it fills and matches the existing bound check used by nl80211_parse_mbssid_elems().

wifi: cfg80211: add support to handle incumbent signal detected event from mac80211/driver

2026-06-19T11:47:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6a584e336cefb230e2d981a464f4d85562eb750c ] When any incumbent signal is detected by an AP/mesh interface operating in 6 GHz band, FCC mandates the AP/mesh to vacate the channels affected by it [1]. Add a new API cfg80211_incumbent_signal_notify() that can be used by mac80211 or drivers to notify the higher layers about the signal interference event with the interference bitmap in which each bit denotes the affected 20 MHz in the operating channel. Add support for the new nl80211 event and nl80211 attribute as well to notify userspace on the details about the interference event. Userspace is expected to process it and take further action - vacate the channel, or reduce the bandwidth.

wifi: fix leak if split 6 GHz scanning fails

wifi: cfg80211: advance loop vars in cfg80211_merge_profile()

2026-06-01T15:54:26+00:00

commit 7666dbb1bacc4ba522b96740cba7283d243d16e1 upstream. cfg80211_merge_profile() reassembles a Multi-BSSID non-transmitted BSS profile that has been split across multiple consecutive MBSSID elements. Its while-loop calls cfg80211_get_profile_continuation(ie, ielen, mbssid_elem, sub_elem) but never advances mbssid_elem or sub_elem inside the body. Each iteration therefore searches for a continuation that follows the same fixed pair; the helper returns the same next_mbssid; and the same next_sub bytes are memcpy()'d into merged_ie at a growing offset until the buffer fills. Advance both mbssid_elem and sub_elem to the just-consumed continuation so the next call to cfg80211_get_profile_continuation() searches for a further continuation beyond it (or returns NULL when none exists). A specially-crafted malicious beacon can take advantage of this bug to cause the kernel to spend an excessive amount of time in cfg80211_merge_profile (up to as much as 2ms per beacon received), which could theoretically be abused in some way.

kernfs: pass struct ns_common instead of const void * for namespace tags

2026-04-09T12:36:52+00:00

kernfs has historically used const void * to pass around namespace tags used for directory-level namespace filtering. The only current user of this is sysfs network namespace tagging where struct net pointers are cast to void *. Replace all const void * namespace parameters with const struct ns_common * throughout the kernfs, sysfs, and kobject namespace layers. This includes the kobj_ns_type_operations callbacks, kobject_namespace(), and all sysfs/kernfs APIs that accept or return namespace tags. Passing struct ns_common is needed because various codepaths require access to the underlying namespace. A struct ns_common can always be converted back to the concrete namespace type (e.g., struct net) via container_of() or to_ns_common() in the reverse direction. This is a preparatory change for switching to ns_id-based directory iteration to prevent a KASLR pointer leak through the current use of raw namespace pointers as hash seeds and comparison keys.

wifi: cfg80211: cancel pmsr_free_wk in cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down

2026-03-06T11:41:59+00:00

When the nl80211 socket that originated a PMSR request is closed, cfg80211_release_pmsr() sets the request's nl_portid to zero and schedules pmsr_free_wk to process the abort asynchronously. If the interface is concurrently torn down before that work runs, cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down() calls cfg80211_pmsr_process_abort() directly. However, the already- scheduled pmsr_free_wk work item remains pending and may run after the interface has been removed from the driver. This could cause the driver's abort_pmsr callback to operate on a torn-down interface, leading to undefined behavior and potential crashes. Cancel pmsr_free_wk synchronously in cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down() before calling cfg80211_pmsr_process_abort(). This ensures any pending or in-progress work is drained before interface teardown proceeds, preventing the work from invoking the driver abort callback after the interface is gone.

wifi: radiotap: reject radiotap with unknown bits

2026-02-23T08:23:44+00:00

The radiotap parser is currently only used with the radiotap namespace (not with vendor namespaces), but if the undefined field 18 is used, the alignment/size is unknown as well. In this case, iterator->_next_ns_data isn't initialized (it's only set for skipping vendor namespaces), and syzbot points out that we later compare against this uninitialized value. Fix this by moving the rejection of unknown radiotap fields down to after the in-namespace lookup, so it will really use iterator->_next_ns_data only for vendor namespaces, even in case undefined fields are present.
