Subject: [PATCH v3 4/6] wifi: mwifiex: fix OOB read in scan response from mismatched TLV data sizes
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:49:36 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260421134938.331334-5-tristmd@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260421134938.331334-1-tristmd@gmail.com>
From: Tristan Madani <tristan@talencesecurity.com>
The TSF and ChanBand TLV arrays are indexed by the firmware-controlled
number_of_sets without cross-checking against the TLV header length
fields. When number_of_sets exceeds the TLV data, the loop reads past
the TLV data into adjacent command response memory.
Stop using the TLV data once the index exceeds its reported length.
Fixes: 5e6e3a92b9a4 ("wireless: mwifiex: initial commit for Marvell mwifiex driver")
Signed-off-by: Tristan Madani <tristan@talencesecurity.com>

Changes in v3:
- Regenerated from wireless-next with proper git format-patch to
produce valid index hashes (v2 had post-processed index lines).
Changes in v2:
- No code changes from v1.
