Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] wifi: ath6kl: fix OOB access from firmware ADDBA window size
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:50:07 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260421135009.348084-2-tristmd@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260421135009.348084-1-tristmd@gmail.com>
From: Tristan Madani <tristan@talencesecurity.com>
aggr_recv_addba_req_evt() logs a debug message when the firmware-supplied
win_sz is outside [AGGR_WIN_SZ_MIN, AGGR_WIN_SZ_MAX] but does not
return. The out-of-range win_sz is then used in TID_WINDOW_SZ() to
compute a kzalloc size and stored in rxtid->hold_q_sz, leading to
zero-size or overflowed allocations and subsequent OOB access.
Return early when win_sz is out of the valid range.
Fixes: bdcd81707973 ("Add ath6kl cleaned up driver")

Changes in v3:
- Regenerated from wireless-next with proper git format-patch to
produce valid index hashes (v2 had post-processed index lines).
Changes in v2:
- No code changes from v1.
