Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] wifi: b43: enforce bounds check on firmware key index in b43_rx()
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2026 11:11:44 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260417111145.2694196-1-tristmd@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Tristan Madani <tristan@talencesecurity.com>

The firmware-controlled key index in b43_rx() can exceed the dev->key[]
array size (58 entries). The existing B43_WARN_ON is non-enforcing in
production builds, allowing an out-of-bounds read.

Make the B43_WARN_ON check enforcing by dropping the frame when the
firmware returns an invalid key index.

Suggested-by: Jonas Gorski <jonas.gorski@gmail.com>

Fixes: e4d6b7951812 ("[B43]: add mac80211-based driver for modern BCM43xx devices")
