Subject: [PATCH mt76 15/15] wifi: mt76: mt7925: fix infinite loop in UNI event TLV parsing
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 15:04:34 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260727150434.1778520-15-nbd@nbd.name> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260727150434.1778520-1-nbd@nbd.name>
The event TLV loops accept a zero-length TLV, which advances neither the
cursor nor the remaining length, so a malformed event hangs the caller.
mt7925_mcu_uni_roc_event() additionally walked past the end of the skb,
since it never checked the declared length against the remainder.
Replace the five open-coded loops with a shared iterator that rejects
lengths below the TLV header and beyond the remaining buffer, and check
the per-tag payload sizes before dereferencing them.
While here, make the RSSI monitor event read from the current TLV rather
than from the start of the list.
