Subject: [PATCH 4.9 23/32] mwifiex: correct channel stat buffer overflows
Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2017 15:19:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170908131838.564794932@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170908131837.717322849@linuxfoundation.org>
4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Brian Norris <briannorris@chromium.org>
commit 4b5dde2d6234ff5bc68e97e6901d1f2a0a7f3749 upstream.
mwifiex records information about various channels as it receives scan
information. It does this by appending to a buffer that was sized
to the max number of supported channels on any band, but there are
numerous problems:
(a) scans can return info from more than one band (e.g., both 2.4 and 5
GHz), so the determined "max" is not large enough
(b) some firmware appears to return multiple results for a given
channel, so the max *really* isn't large enough
(c) there is no bounds checking when stashing these stats, so problems
(a) and (b) can easily lead to buffer overflows
Let's patch this by setting a slightly-more-correct max (that accounts
for a combination of both 2.4G and 5G bands) and adding a bounds check
when writing to our statistics buffer.
Due to problem (b), we still might not properly report all known survey
information (e.g., with "iw <dev> survey dump"), since duplicate results
(or otherwise "larger than expected" results) will cause some
truncation. But that's a problem for a future bugfix.
(And because of this known deficiency, only log the excess at the WARN
level, since that isn't visible by default in this driver and would
otherwise be a bit too noisy.)
