Subject: [PATCH wireless 1/2] wifi: brcmfmac: fwsignal: bound the AMPDU reorder indices
Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2026 02:58:42 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261115185843.64633-2-maoyixie.tju@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261115185843.64633-1-maoyixie.tju@gmail.com>

brcmf_fws_rxreorder() allocates max_idx + 1 slots when a reorder flow
starts. It then uses the indices of each frame without a check.

	rfi->pktslots[rfi->cur_idx] = pkt;

A cur_idx above the allocated maximum makes the driver write and read
past pktslots[]. An exp_idx above max_idx makes
brcmf_rxreorder_get_skb_list() read past the array or loop forever.

Store the allocated maximum in the flow. Bound max_idx by it and the
other indices by max_idx. Deliver a frame that fails the check without
reordering.

This was found with a static analysis tool that we develop. A userspace
harness that compiles the fwsignal.c functions unchanged runs under
AddressSanitizer. It shows the out-of-bounds accesses and the endless
loop before this patch, but not after it. No hardware was available for
testing.
