From ff917923f4fb9c83717ba135ee47d7e4c1567bb7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Muhammad Bilal Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 17:54:55 +0500 Subject: staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB read in rtw_action_frame_parse() rtw_action_frame_parse() takes a frame_len parameter but never actually checks it before indexing into the frame body: const u8 *frame_body = frame + sizeof(struct ieee80211_hdr_3addr); ... c = frame_body[0]; ... a = frame_body[1]; frame_body already points 24 bytes (sizeof(struct ieee80211_hdr_3addr)) into frame, so reading frame_body[0] and frame_body[1] requires frame_len >= 26. A management action frame shorter than that (e.g. exactly 24 bytes, the minimum a malicious peer can send) causes a 1-2 byte out-of-bounds read. This is reachable from rtw_cfg80211_monitor_if_xmit_entry() and cfg80211_rtw_mgmt_tx() in ioctl_cfg80211.c, both of which pass attacker/user-influenced frame buffers and lengths straight through. Add the missing length check before frame_body is dereferenced.

Such functionality may help achieve better accuracy +in obtaining timestamps than using software counterparts i.e. ktime and +friends. + +This document describes the API that can be used by hardware timestamping +engine provider and consumer drivers that want to use the hardware timestamping +engine (HTE) framework.

It expresses timestamp data in nanoseconds in +u64. An example of the typical timestamp data life cycle, for the GPIO line is +as follows:: + + - Monitors GPIO line change. + - Detects the state change on GPIO line. + - Converts timestamps in nanoseconds. + - Stores GPIO raw level in raw_level variable if the provider has that + hardware capability. + - Pushes this hte_ts_data object to HTE subsystem. + - HTE subsystem increments seq counter and invokes consumer provided callback. + Based on callback return value, the HTE core invokes secondary callback in + the thread context. + +HTE subsystem debugfs attributes +-------------------------------- +HTE subsystem creates debugfs attributes at ``/sys/kernel/debug/hte/``. +It also creates line/signal-related debugfs attributes at +``/sys/kernel/debug/hte//
