Subject: [PATCH] wifi: rtw88: fix out-of-bounds CAM write when key table is full
Date: Thu,  6 Aug 2026 03:09:41 +0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805210941.75136-1-reza1234khan1234@gmail.com> (raw)

In rtw_ops_set_key(), when the CAM table is full,
rtw_sec_get_free_cam() returns RTW_MAX_SEC_CAM_NUM (32) because
find_next_zero_bit()/find_first_zero_bit() return the bitmap size
when no free slot exists. The bounds check compares the returned
index with ">" against total_cam_num (32), so the invalid index 32
passes the check.

rtw_sec_write_cam() then indexes cam_table[32], an array declared
with RTW_MAX_SEC_CAM_NUM (32) entries, causing an out-of-bounds
write that corrupts the cam_map allocation bitmap. The write also
sets bit 32 of cam_map, which overruns the bitmap as well.

Fix the off-by-one by rejecting indices >= total_cam_num.

Fixes: e3037485c68e ("rtw88: new Realtek 802.11ac driver")

Tested on: RTL8821CE (PCIe) on kernel
7.2.0-rc6-rtw88test-00059-g0d8395707651. The patched module loaded
and associated to a WPA2 network; ping traffic passed with 0% packet
loss. Reassociation and disconnect/reconnect cycles completed
without errors, and the CAM table (debugfs dump_cam) showed valid
key entries. The CAM-full boundary (28+ pairwise keys) requires an
access point with 28+ clients and is not reachable in a
single-client setup, so that path was verified by code inspection.
