Subject: [PATCH 0/5] staging: rtl8723bs: fix multiple OOB reads in IE and frame parsing
Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2026 23:54:40 +0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260718185445.63070-1-meatuni001@gmail.com> (raw)

This series fixes five out-of-bounds read and buffer overflow bugs
in the rtl8723bs staging driver where length or offset fields from
untrusted wireless frames are used without validating that enough
bytes remain in the buffer.

Patches 1-4 are reachable remotely through crafted management frames
(beacons, probe responses, scan results). Patch 5 is reachable
locally via raw frame injection on a monitor-mode interface.

Impact:

  1/5  OOB read of IE length byte and OUI data in rtw_get_wps_ie()
  2/5  OOB read plus stack buffer overflow via attacker-controlled
       memcpy length in rtw_get_wps_attr()
  3/5  OOB read of action frame category and action bytes
  4/5  OOB read of next-IE length in the non-matching fallthrough path
  5/5  skb->len underflow after unchecked skb_pull in monitor TX path

All fixes are single-hunk bounds checks following the same pattern
already used in the sibling functions in these files.

Tested: CONFIG_RTL8723BS=m with CONFIG_KASAN=y, checkpatch clean.
