Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: fix possible buffer overflow in brcmf_cfg80211_mgmt_tx()
Date: Fri, 7 Jul 2017 13:01:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1499428893-30750-1-git-send-email-arend.vanspriel@broadcom.com> (raw)
The lower level nl80211 code in cfg80211 ensures that "len" is between
25 and NL80211_ATTR_FRAME (2304). We subtract DOT11_MGMT_HDR_LEN (24) from
"len" so thats's max of 2280. However, the action_frame->data[] buffer is
only BRCMF_FIL_ACTION_FRAME_SIZE (1800) bytes long so this memcpy() can
overflow.
memcpy(action_frame->data, &buf[DOT11_MGMT_HDR_LEN],
le16_to_cpu(action_frame->len));

Hi Kalle,
Here is the patch as Linus send it to us and security@kernel.org. I
removed the lower bound check as that is already done in cfg80211.
Now I signed off on the patch although formally I suppose Linus should
sign it off. Putting it out there so people can respond as deemed
necessary.
Now fingers crossed whether patchwork will properly deal with the UTF-8
characters :-p
Regards,
Arend
