Subject: [PATCH v2] wifi: mwifiex: bound SDIO fw dump count by memory table size
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 14:43:51 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <33a45fd59b5569cbce79142d2e012e191989ec26@linux.dev> (raw)
From: Tianchu Chen <flynnnchen@tencent.com>
mwifiex_sdio_fw_dump() reads the number of memory regions (dump_num)
from a device register and uses it to index the static 15-entry
mem_type_mapping_tbl[] without any bounds check. A bogus device can
report a dump_num larger than the table; each out-of-table loop
iteration then reads entry->mem_name and entry->done_flag and stores
a vmalloc pointer and a device-controlled size past the end of the
table, into adjacent .data (up to ~5.6KiB when dump_num is 255).
The dump path runs after command timeouts or firmware crashes, so a
bogus device can first force an error to trigger the dump and then
report a bogus dump_num.
Limit dump_num to the table size instead of aborting the dump. This
is not expected to change the behavior on normal devices.

v2: clamp dump_num to the table size and continue when bogus dump_num
detected.
