[PATCH v4 0/2] staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB write and read in HT_caps_handler and OnAssocRsp

[Alexandru Hossu <hossu.alexandru@gmail.com>]

v4, addressing the sashiko review comments on v3.

Regarding your questions:

The two patches to drop from your tree are the ones applied from v2:

  41a866092f09 ("staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB write in HT_caps_handler()")
  e36c54247447 ("staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB read in OnAssocRsp() IE loop")

v4 supersedes both.

Regarding hardware: I do not have rtl8723bs hardware available.  The
patches are derived from reading the code, cross-checking against the
802.11 spec, and comparing against the existing HT_info_handler() guard
pattern in the same file.

What changed in v4:

Patch 1 (HT_caps_handler):
  The v3 umin() loop bounded the write side correctly, but three macros
  that run after the loop access pIE->data[0] and pIE->data[1]
  unconditionally.  If pIE->length is 0 or 1 those reads go out of
  bounds.  Added if (pIE->length < 2) return; placed after
  HT_caps_enable = 1 so that HT negotiation is not regressed.

Patch 2 (OnAssocRsp):
  Two additional issues found by sashiko:
  - The fixed-field reads (capability, status, AID) at
    pframe + WLAN_HDR_A3_LEN + {0,2,4} run without any minimum frame
    length check.  Added if (pkt_len < WLAN_HDR_A3_LEN + 6) return _FAIL.
  - The WMM OUI comparison (memcmp of 6 bytes) ran without checking
    pIE->length >= 6.  An IE with length < 6 at the end of the packet
    caused the memcmp to read into adjacent frame data.  Added
    pIE->length >= 6 guard.
