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.

Compliance with the +reciprocal sharing obligations of GPL-2.0 is critical to the long-term +sustainability of our software and community. + +Although there is a right to enforce the separate copyright interests in the +contributions made to our community, we share an interest in ensuring that +individual enforcement actions are conducted in a manner that benefits our +community and do not have an unintended negative impact on the health and +growth of our software ecosystem. In order to deter unhelpful enforcement +actions, we agree that it is in the best interests of our development +community to undertake the following commitment to users of the Linux kernel +on behalf of ourselves and any successors to our copyright interests: + + Notwithstanding the termination provisions of the GPL-2.0, we agree that + it is in the best interests of our development community to adopt the + following provisions of GPL-3.0 as additional permissions under our + license with respect to any non-defensive assertion of rights under the + license. + + However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license + from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, + unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally + terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder + fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to + 60 days after the cessation. + + Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is + reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the + violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have + received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that + copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after + your receipt of the notice. + +Our intent in providing these assurances is to encourage more use of the +software. We want companies and individuals to use, modify and distribute +this software. We want to work with users in an open and transparent way to +eliminate any uncertainty about our expectations regarding compliance or +enforcement that might limit adoption of our software. We view legal action +as a last resort, to be initiated only when other community efforts have +failed to resolve the problem. + +Finally, once a non-compliance issue is resolved, we hope the user will feel +welcome to join us in our efforts on this project. Working together, we will +be stronger. + +Except where noted below, we speak only for ourselves, and not for any company +we might work for today, have in the past, or will in the future. + + - Laura Abbott + - Bjorn Andersson (Linaro) + - Andrea Arcangeli + - Neil Armstrong + - Jens Axboe + - Pablo Neira Ayuso + - Khalid Aziz + - Ralf Baechle + - Felipe Balbi + - Arnd Bergmann + - Ard Biesheuvel + - Tim Bird + - Paolo Bonzini + - Christian Borntraeger + - Mark Brown (Linaro) + - Paul Burton + - Javier Martinez Canillas + - Rob Clark + - Kees Cook (Google) + - Jonathan Corbet + - Dennis Dalessandro + - Vivien Didelot (Savoir-faire Linux) + - Hans de Goede + - Mel Gorman (SUSE) + - Sven Eckelmann + - Alex Elder (Linaro) + - Fabio Estevam + - Larry Finger + - Bhumika Goyal + - Andy Gross + - Juergen Gross + - Shawn Guo + - Ulf Hansson + - Stephen Hemminger (Microsoft) + - Tejun Heo + - Rob Herring + - Masami Hiramatsu + - Michal Hocko + - Simon Horman + - Johan Hovold (Hovold Consulting AB) + - Christophe JAILLET + - Olof Johansson + - Lee Jones (Linaro) + - Heiner Kallweit + - Srinivas Kandagatla + - Jan Kara + - Shuah Khan (Samsung) + - David Kershner + - Jaegeuk Kim + - Namhyung Kim + - Colin Ian King + - Jeff Kirsher + - Greg Kroah-Hartman (Linux Foundation) + - Christian König + - Vinod Koul + - Krzysztof Kozlowski + - Viresh Kumar + - Aneesh Kumar K.V + - Julia Lawall + - Doug Ledford + - Chuck Lever (Oracle) + - Daniel Lezcano + - Shaohua Li + - Xin Long + - Tony Luck + - Catalin Marinas (Arm Ltd) + - Mike Marshall + - Chris Mason + - Paul E.
