Subject: [PATCH v5] wifi: ath6kl: fix OOB access from firmware ADDBA window size
Date: Thu,  2 Jul 2026 00:50:20 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702005020.708717-1-tristmd@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Tristan Madani <tristan@talencesecurity.com>

aggr_recv_addba_req_evt() logs a debug message when the firmware-supplied
win_sz is outside [AGGR_WIN_SZ_MIN, AGGR_WIN_SZ_MAX] but does not
return. The out-of-range win_sz is then used in TID_WINDOW_SZ() to
compute a kzalloc size and stored in rxtid->hold_q_sz, leading to
zero-size or overflowed allocations and subsequent out-of-bounds access.

Clean up any previously active aggregation session for the TID first,
then return early when win_sz is out of the valid range, instead of
proceeding with a broken allocation size.

Changes in v5:
  - Add From: tag in the patch body to fix the From/Signed-off-by
    address mismatch (Jeff Johnson).
  - Drop Suggested-by, add Reviewed-by (Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan).

Changes in v4:
  - Move aggregation session cleanup before the window size check so
    that a previously active session is always torn down, even when the
    firmware sends an ADDBA event with an out-of-range window size
    (Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan).

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.
