Subject: [PATCH 4/5] staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB read in rtw_restruct_wmm_ie()
Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2026 23:54:44 +0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260718185445.63070-5-meatuni001@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260718185445.63070-1-meatuni001@gmail.com>

rtw_restruct_wmm_ie() scans in_ie for a WMM IE with:

	while (i < in_len) {
		...
		if (i + 5 < in_len && in_ie[i] == 0xDD && ...) {
			...
			break;
		}
		i += (in_ie[i + 1] + 2); /* to the next IE element */
	}

When the "i + 5 < in_len" match check fails simply because i is
within 5 bytes of the end of the buffer (i.e. no WMM IE was found
near the tail of in_ie), execution falls through to
"i += (in_ie[i + 1] + 2)", which reads in_ie[i + 1]. If i == in_len
- 1 at that point, this is a 1-byte out-of-bounds read of an
attacker-influenced IE buffer built from association/scan data.

Commit a75281626fc8f ("staging: rtl8723bs: fix potential
out-of-bounds read in rtw_restruct_wmm_ie") added the "i + 5 <
in_len" guard to the match condition itself, but did not add an
equivalent guard before the fallthrough advance, so the same class
of OOB read remained reachable through the non-matching path.

Add an explicit bounds check before advancing to the next IE.
