Subject: [PATCH wireless-next] wifi: ath12k: Fix out-of-bounds read
Date: Fri,  6 Dec 2024 13:05:42 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241206073542.315095-1-dheeraj.linuxdev@gmail.com> (raw)

This patch addresses the Out-of-bounds read issue detected by
Coverity (CID 1602214). The function ath12k_mac_vdev_create() accesses
the vif->link_conf array using link_id, which is derived from
arvif->link_id. In cases where arvif->link_id equals 15, the index
exceeds the bounds of the array, which contains only 15 elements.This
results in an out-of-bounds read.

This issue occurs in the following branch of the code:

    if (arvif->link_id == ATH12K_DEFAULT_SCAN_LINK && vif->valid_links)
        link_id = ffs(vif->valid_links) - 1;
    else
        link_id = arvif->link_id;

When arvif->link_id equals 15 and the else branch is taken, link_id is
set to 15.

This patch adds a bounds check to ensure that link_id does not exceed
the valid range of the vif->link_conf array. If the check fails, a
warning is logged, and the function returns an error code (-EINVAL).
