Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix memory corruption in minstrel_ht_update_rates()
Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2022 17:01:35 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220919150135.90785-1-lech.perczak@camlingroup.com> (raw)

From: Paweł Lenkow <pawel.lenkow@camlingroup.com>

During our testing of WFM200 module over SDIO on i.MX6Q-based platform,
we discovered a memory corruption on the system, tracing back to the wfx
driver. Using kfence, it was possible to trace it back to the root
cause, which is hw->max_rates set to 8 in wfx_init_common,
while the maximum defined by IEEE80211_TX_TABLE_SIZE is 4.

This causes array out-of-bounds writes during updates of the rate table,
as seen below:

BUG: KFENCE: memory corruption in kfree_rcu_work+0x320/0x36c

After discussion on the wireless mailing list it was clarified
that the issue has been introduced by:
commit ee0e16ab756a ("mac80211: minstrel_ht: fill all requested rates")
and fix shall be in minstrel_ht_update_rates in rc80211_minstrel_ht.c.
