Subject: [PATCH 6.18 48/49] wifi: rtl8xxxu: fix slab-out-of-bounds in rtl8xxxu_sta_add
Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2026 14:48:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260213134710.619466359@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260213134708.885500854@linuxfoundation.org>
6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ali Tariq <alitariq45892@gmail.com>
commit 86c946bcc00f6390ef65e9614ae60a9377e454f8 upstream.
The driver does not set hw->sta_data_size, which causes mac80211 to
allocate insufficient space for driver private station data in
__sta_info_alloc(). When rtl8xxxu_sta_add() accesses members of
struct rtl8xxxu_sta_info through sta->drv_priv, this results in a
slab-out-of-bounds write.
KASAN report on RISC-V (VisionFive 2) with RTL8192EU adapter:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in rtl8xxxu_sta_add+0x31c/0x346
Write of size 8 at addr ffffffd6d3e9ae88 by task kworker/u16:0/12
Set hw->sta_data_size to sizeof(struct rtl8xxxu_sta_info) during
probe, similar to how hw->vif_data_size is configured. This ensures
mac80211 allocates sufficient space for the driver's per-station
private data.
Tested on StarFive VisionFive 2 v1.2A board.
Fixes: eef55f1545c9 ("wifi: rtl8xxxu: support multiple interfaces in {add,remove}_interface()")
