Subject: [PATCH v2] wifi: rtw89: cap firmware section_num before parsing
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 23:29:38 +0545 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825174438.63168-1-acharyalaxman8848@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <26bf80f23bfa4fe49183d1f724fffc5c@realtek.com>
rtw89_fw_bin_info.section_info has FWDL_SECTION_MAX_NUM (10) entries.
The v0/v1 header parsers take section_num from an 8-bit firmware field
(0..255) and write info->section_info[i] with no cap.
rtw89_fw_download_suit() keeps that object on the stack, so a crafted
firmware blob overflows the stack.
Reject a truncated header and a section table that does not fit in the
firmware image before reading fw_hdr->sections[i].
Fixes: e3ec7017f6a2 ("rtw89: add Realtek 802.11ax driver")

Changes in v2:
- Add the requested empty lines after the section table bounds checks.
- Add the missing Fixes tag and Ping-Ke's Acked-by tag.
