"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: libipw: reject too-short association responses\n\nlibipw_handle_assoc_resp() reads the capability, status and aid fields\nof the 30-byte association response prefix and then computes the\ninformation element length as\n\n\tstats->len - sizeof(*frame)\n\nstats->len is a u16 and sizeof() has type size_t, so the subtraction is\nevaluated as size_t and wraps instead of going negative. Truncating\nthat to the u16 length parameter of libipw_parse_info_param() turns a\nframe shorter than the fixed fields into a length near 64 KiB, and the\nparser then reads past the receive buffer.\n\nBoth the ipw2100 and ipw2200 management receive paths reach this\nfunction having established only that the frame carries the generic\n24-byte three-address header.\n\nReject the frame before any fixed field is touched.\n\nFound by an AI-assisted review of length arithmetic in management frame\nparsers. Verified with a KUnit case under Generic KASAN on arm64 under\nQEMU; I do not have the hardware, so it is not tested on a real device."

{

"value": "AV:A - The malformed input is an 802.11 Association Response management frame received over the air. ipw2100 (isr_rx path) and ipw2200 (ipw_handle_mgmt_packet) send it through libipw_rx_mgt() into libipw_handle_assoc_resp(). The attacker must be within WiFi radio range.\nAC:L - The attacker only has to send an ASSOC_RESP frame of 24-29 bytes. The drivers check only for the 24-byte header, so stats->len - sizeof(*frame) (30) wraps to about 64K in the u16 length passed to libipw_parse_info_param(). No race or special state is involved.\nPR:N - libipw_rx_mgt() processes management frames before any 802.11 authentication or key exchange. An unauthenticated nearby transmitter can inject the frame.\nUI:N - The frame is processed in the receive path as soon as the interface is up. The victim does nothing.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds read stays inside the host kernel's own memory and crosses no virtualization or IOMMU boundary.\nC:L - libipw_parse_info_param() walks up to about 64KB of memory past the receive buffer. Those bytes only fill a local libipw_network on the stack, and through the QoS IE path the qos_data that goes to firmware. Nothing is returned to the attacker, so the disclosure is limited and indirect.\nI:N - The bug is read-only. Every copy from the parsed IEs is bounded (min() on ssid/rates, an exact-size check in libipw_read_qos_param_element) and lands in the fixed-size local network struct, so nothing is written out of bounds.\nA:H - Iterating about 64KB of information elements past a few-KB skb/DMA receive buffer can hit unmapped pages (or KASAN/KFENCE) and oops the kernel. Any station in range can resend the short frame repeatedly."
