Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] wifi: libertas: fix OOB read from firmware pkt_ptr offset in RX path
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:50:26 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260421135027.357622-2-tristmd@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260421135027.357622-1-tristmd@gmail.com>
From: Tristan Madani <tristan@talencesecurity.com>
lbs_process_rxed_packet() uses the firmware-supplied pkt_ptr as an
offset into the skb data without validating that it falls within the
skb buffer bounds. A malicious pkt_ptr value causes out-of-bounds
memory access when the function subsequently reads ethernet header
fields from p_rx_pkt.
Add a bounds check to ensure pkt_ptr plus the minimum packet header
size does not exceed skb->len.
Fixes: e45d8e534b67 ("libertas: add support for Marvell SD8688 chip")

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.
