Subject: [PATCH v3 6/6] wifi: mwifiex: fix OOB read from inflated TLV length in IBSS peer event
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:49:38 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260421134938.331334-7-tristmd@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260421134938.331334-1-tristmd@gmail.com>
From: Tristan Madani <tristan@talencesecurity.com>
The IBSS connected handler replaces the buffer-bounded evt_len with
the firmware-controlled TLV header length. An inflated value drives the
IE parsing loop past the event buffer into adjacent kernel heap memory.
Cap the TLV-derived length at the remaining event data size.
Fixes: 432da7d243da ("mwifiex: add HT aggregation support for adhoc mode")
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.
