Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] wifi: libertas: fix OOB read from firmware bssdescriptsize in scan response
Date: Mon, 4 May 2026 19:14:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260504191452.3408257-3-tristan@talencesecurity.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260504191452.3408257-1-tristan@talencesecurity.com>
The firmware-controlled bssdescriptsize field in lbs_ret_scan() is used
to compute the TSF descriptor position without validation against the
response buffer size. An inflated value causes out-of-bounds reads from
the 2312-byte response buffer into adjacent struct lbs_private members.
Add a check using size_add() that bssdescriptsize plus the response
header size does not exceed the total response size, avoiding integer
wrapping on 32-bit platforms.
Fixes: ff9fc791940f ("libertas: first stab at cfg80211 support")
