That helper only verifies the\nframe is long enough for the action category field, that is\noffsetofend(struct ieee80211_mgmt, u.action.category), 25 bytes. Both\nfunctions then read the P2P public action header up to oui_subtype at\noffset 30 and pass \"size - ie_offset\" to cfg80211_find_vendor_ie(), where\nie_offset is offsetof(struct ieee80211_mgmt, u) + sizeof(*d), i.e. 32.\n\nA public action frame of 25 to 31 bytes passes the check but is shorter\nthan that 32 byte header, so oui_subtype can be read out of bounds, and\nbecause the length is unsigned, \"size - ie_offset\" underflows to a value\nclose to 4 GiB. cfg80211_find_vendor_ie() takes an unsigned int length,\nso even the size_t subtraction in mgmt_tx() is truncated to the same\nvalue. It then walks far past the buffer searching for a vendor element\nuntil it reaches unmapped memory.\n\nIn the receive path the frame arrives over the air and needs no\nassociation, so a nearby unauthenticated device can crash the host while\nit is in P2P listen. Reject frames shorter than the P2P public action\nheader in both paths before dereferencing it."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/cfg80211.c"],"versions":[{"version":"4fb8b5aa2a1126783ae00bae544d6f3c519408ef","lessThan":"e98ad9f4c59f2e836f8d971b57763a4277680422","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"4fb8b5aa2a1126783ae00bae544d6f3c519408ef","lessThan":"f0c46f8111a479b97b8ab17747c528cade6257f1","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"4fb8b5aa2a1126783ae00bae544d6f3c519408ef","lessThan":"a5b827dad8a3037cef04d0240d1c2acb1557101e","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"4fb8b5aa2a1126783ae00bae544d6f3c519408ef","lessThan":"491df93b10d76aebaf6aa4bb05a6ba897f4fccfb","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"4fb8b5aa2a1126783ae00bae544d6f3c519408ef","lessThan":"cc2ee642ebeac8699b671ddb6d5955a785e5ff43","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"4fb8b5aa2a1126783ae00bae544d6f3c519408ef","lessThan":"68b786691ce24c5c94e28811db243e573c50f9c1","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"4fb8b5aa2a1126783ae00bae544d6f3c519408ef","lessThan":"6fbe76eb2796d2aee45cc6a2dd16e85d3cc96304","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"4fb8b5aa2a1126783ae00bae544d6f3c519408ef","lessThan":"ba6cb7c0868a412c2eb68e8efd5aa38bfb258a14","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/cfg80211.c"],"versions":[{"version":"5.7","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"5.7","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.10.271","lessThanOrEqual":"5.10.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.222","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.189","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.158","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.112","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.54","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.8","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3-rc4","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.7","versionEndExcluding":"5.10.271"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.7","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.222"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.189"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.158"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.112"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.54"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.7","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.8"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.7","versionEndExcluding":"7.3-rc4"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e98ad9f4c59f2e836f8d971b57763a4277680422"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f0c46f8111a479b97b8ab17747c528cade6257f1"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a5b827dad8a3037cef04d0240d1c2acb1557101e"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/491df93b10d76aebaf6aa4bb05a6ba897f4fccfb"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cc2ee642ebeac8699b671ddb6d5955a785e5ff43"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/68b786691ce24c5c94e28811db243e573c50f9c1"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6fbe76eb2796d2aee45cc6a2dd16e85d3cc96304"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ba6cb7c0868a412c2eb68e8efd5aa38bfb258a14"}],"title":"wifi: wilc1000: fix out-of-bounds read in P2P public action frames","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
