Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB write in HT_caps_handler()
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 19:19:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026041408-grill-mahogany-d1e3@gregkh> (raw)

HT_caps_handler() loops up to pIE->length, the IE length byte taken
directly from an over-the-air association response, and uses the counter
to index pmlmeinfo->HT_caps.u.HT_cap[26].  A malicious AP can supply an
HT capabilities IE with a length byte up to 255, AND-writing into
adjacent fields of struct mlme_ext_info.  This is reachable in station
mode (the default) via OnAssocRsp.

HT_info_handler() already rejects oversized IEs so do the same thing in
HT_caps_handler() to resolve this.

Fixes: 554c0a3abf21 ("staging: Add rtl8723bs sdio wifi driver")
