Subject: [PATCH v6 0/7] staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB reads and writes in IE/attribute parsing
Date: Thu, 21 May 2026 15:03:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260521130330.754181-1-hossu.alexandru@gmail.com> (raw)
Fix out-of-bounds memory accesses in several IE and attribute parsing
paths of the rtl8723bs driver. All affected functions iterate over
attacker-controlled IE data from over-the-air frames without validating
header or payload bounds before dereferencing.
v6: add two patches addressing issues found during v5 review.
Patch 6 adds IE header bounds checks and payload length guards to
is_ap_in_tkip(). Patch 7 adds header and payload bounds checks to
rtw_get_sec_ie(), rtw_get_wapi_ie(), and rtw_get_wps_attr().
