Subject: [PATCH] wifi: cfg80211: validate IEs in cfg80211_wext_siwgenie()
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux.git for-kernelci


The KASAN allocation trace shows that a malformed IE buffer is
stored via SIOCSIWGENIE (cfg80211_wext_siwgenie()) without any
validation. The crash trace shows that a subsequent SIOCSIWESSID
triggers a connection attempt which calls cfg80211_sme_get_conn_ies()
to process the stored IE buffer, causing:

 - An out-of-bounds read in skip_ie() which reads ies[pos+1]
   (the length byte) past the end of the 1-byte buffer.

 - An integer underflow in the memcpy size argument when offs
   returned by ieee80211_ie_split() exceeds ies_len, causing
   unsigned subtraction to wrap to SIZE_MAX and triggering a
   fortify panic.

Fix this by validating the IE buffer in cfg80211_wext_siwgenie()
before storing it. First reject buffers smaller than 2 bytes since
a valid IE requires at least a type and length field. Then use
for_each_element() and for_each_element_completed() to verify all
elements are well-formed. Return -EINVAL if validation fails.
