All of rtw_wep_decrypt(), rtw_tkip_decrypt() and rtw_aes_decrypt() compute length = hdr.len - hdrlen - iv_len; and act on the result, and recvframe_chkmic() similarly computes datalen = hdr.len - hdrlen - iv_len - icv_len - 8; for TKIP (the 8-byte Michael MIC is not accounted for in icv_len). A frame shorter than hdrlen + iv_len + icv_len (+ 8 for TKIP) underflows these unsigned subtractions, turning into a ~4 GiB iteration count in aes_decipher()/arc4_crypt()/rtw_seccalctkipmic() or a ~4 GiB crc32_le() length, causing out-of-bounds reads/writes of up to ~4 GiB starting from the rx skb. Reject such frames in decryptor() before touching the IV; this covers all three ciphers and the TKIP MIC check, and also keeps the unconditional iv[3] access within the frame. 2) validate_80211w_mgmt() keeps using the frame - two memcpys through the stale rx_data pointer and a pkt_len update - before checking whether decryptor() returned NULL. On decrypt failure (e.g. a unicast protected deauth/disassoc/action frame with a bad MIC, which this path always software-decrypts) the skb has already been freed, so this is a use-after-free read/write, and the caller's error path frees the frame a second time, drifting free_recvframe_cnt. Bail out immediately when decryptor() fails, freeing the temporary mgmt_DATA buffer first. Discovered by Atuin - Automated Vulnerability Discovery Engine.
