Subject: [PATCH 2/2] wifi: ath10k: Add missing validation in ath10k_htt_rx_proc_rx_frag_ind_hl
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 08:06:59 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260910080659.20831-2-rivaldihormat@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260910080659.20831-1-rivaldihormat@gmail.com>

The ath10k_htt_rx_proc_rx_frag_ind_hl function processes fragment
indications sent by the WiFi firmware. It performs pointer arithmetic
without validating the skb length:

1. skb_pull(skb, HTT_RX_FRAG_IND_INFO0_HEADER_LEN) without checking
   that skb->len >= HTT_RX_FRAG_IND_INFO0_HEADER_LEN.

2. hdr = (struct ieee80211_hdr *)((u8 *)rx_desc + rx_hl->fw_desc.len)
   without checking that fw_desc.len does not exceed the remaining
   skb length.

If the firmware sends a malformed fragment indication with a small
payload, this can lead to an integer underflow in skb->len and an
out-of-bounds read in hdr->addr1.

Fix this by adding the missing validation:
- Validate skb->len before skb_pull.
- Validate num_mpdu_ranges to be <= 1.
- Validate tot_hdr_len against skb->len.
- Validate fw_desc.len against remaining skb length.

This prevents out-of-bounds read if the firmware sends malformed data.
