Subject: [PATCH] brcm80211: potential NULL dereference in brcmf_cfg80211_vndr_cmds_dcmd_handler()
Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2019 09:52:18 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190424095218.GB16450@mwanda> (raw)
If "ret_len" is negative then it could lead to a NULL dereference.
The "ret_len" value comes from nl80211_vendor_cmd(), if it's negative
then we don't allocate the "dcmd_buf" buffer. Then we pass "ret_len" to
brcmf_fil_cmd_data_set() where it is cast to a very high u32 value.
Most of the functions in that call tree check whether the buffer we pass
is NULL but there are at least a couple places which don't such as
brcmf_dbg_hex_dump() and brcmf_msgbuf_query_dcmd(). We memcpy() to and
from the buffer so it would result in a NULL dereference.
The fix is to change the types so that "ret_len" can't be negative. (If
we memcpy() zero bytes to NULL, that's a no-op and doesn't cause an
issue).
Fixes: 1bacb0487d0e ("brcmfmac: replace cfg80211 testmode with vendor command")
