Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] wifi: wilc1000: fix integer underflow in wilc_network_info_received()
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:50:00 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260421135001.343596-2-tristmd@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260421135001.343596-1-tristmd@gmail.com>

From: Tristan Madani <tristan@talencesecurity.com>

The firmware-controlled frame length at buffer[6..7] is decremented by 1
and used as the kmemdup size without validating the value. When the
firmware sends 0, the u16 subtraction wraps to 65535, causing a 64KB
out-of-bounds read from the RX buffer. For non-zero but inflated values,
the read exceeds the actual packet data.

Add validation that the frame length is at least 1 and fits within the
available buffer.

Fixes: c5c77ba18ea6 ("staging: wilc1000: Add SDIO/SPI 802.11 driver")

Changes in v3:
  - Regenerated from wireless-next with proper git format-patch to
    produce valid index hashes (v2 had post-processed index lines).

Changes in v2:
  - No code changes from v1.
