wifi: libipw: reject too-short beacon and probe responses
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: libipw: reject too-short beacon and probe responses
libipw_process_probe_response() and the libipw_network_init() call it
makes assume the frame contains the full 36-byte beacon and probe
response prefix, but the ipw2100 and ipw2200 receive paths only
establish that a management frame carries the generic 24-byte
three-address header.
libipw_network_init() then computes the information element length as
stats->len - sizeof(*beacon)
stats->len is a u16 and sizeof() has type size_t, so the subtraction is
evaluated as size_t and wraps instead of going negative. Trunc
wifi: libipw: reject too-short association responses
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: libipw: reject too-short association responses
libipw_handle_assoc_resp() reads the capability, status and aid fields
of the 30-byte association response prefix and then computes the
information element length as
stats->len - sizeof(*frame)
stats->len is a u16 and sizeof() has type size_t, so the subtraction is
evaluated as size_t and wraps instead of going negative. Truncating
that to the u16 length parameter of libipw_parse_info_param() turns a
frame shorter than the fixed fields into a length near 64 KiB, and the
parser then reads past the receive buffer.

IB/IPoIB: Avoid restoring OPER_UP after multicast flush
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/IPoIB: Avoid restoring OPER_UP after multicast flush
ipoib_ib_dev_flush_light() temporarily clears IPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP to
prevent multicast joins while ipoib_mcast_dev_flush() is running, and
restores the flag afterwards if it was previously set.
This restore races with ipoib_ib_dev_down(). If the interface is brought
down while the flush is in progress, ipoib_ib_dev_down() clears
IPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP, but the flush path may set it again after the device
has already gone down.
Since commit 894021a75291 ("IB/ipoib: Make the carrier_on_task race
aware"), ipoib_mcast_carrier

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

A frame that looks like IP can be transmitted, but be too short, so
the DS field is read incorrectly:

dmaengine: wait for RCU readers before releasing dma_device
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: wait for RCU readers before releasing dma_device
dma_issue_pending_all() walks the dma_device_list with
list_for_each_entry_rcu() under rcu_read_lock(). dma_device_release()
unlinks the device with list_del_rcu() and then calls
device->device_release() (which in many drivers, such as plx_dma.c,
directly calls kfree()).
Because there is no grace period between unlinking the device and
freeing it, concurrent RCU readers in dma_issue_pending_all() can
access the device after it has been freed.
The lockless walk originally relied on clients holding a dmaengine

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: don't free driver-owned scan requests
When an interface goes down while a scan is running, cfg80211 completes
the scan towards userspace and frees the scan request. However, the
driver can be convinced that it owns the request, since the cancellation
is (intended to be) asynchronous.
The WARN_ON() in the netdev notifier was meant to catch this, but it's
not actually avoidable, so it triggers and we get a UAF in scan_done().
There doesn't seem to be a great way around it, so just track that the
driver is still convinced it owns the request, and then just fr
wifi: cfg80211: only group hidden BSSes with beacon entries
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: only group hidden BSSes with beacon entries
When a probe response for an unknown BSS comes in, __cfg80211_bss_update()
looks for an existing entry with the same BSSID and a hidden (zero-length
or NUL-filled) SSID, and if it finds one it groups them, using the beacon
IEs from the existing entry.
But that could find another entry without a beacon, if it was also from a
probe response (with SSID), so there's a group without beacon elements.
If a beacon with a hidden SSID for that BSSID arrives later,
cfg80211_combine_bsses() goes looking for the probe respons
wifi: cfg80211: ibss: ref BSS entry for joined event
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: ibss: ref BSS entry for joined event
When the IBSS is joined, we only record the BSSID/channel in the event
and look up the BSS entry when processing it. However, that's racy,
e.g. a new scan with NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_FLUSH can remove it, causing a
warning in the event work:

When the first interface comes up, the radio LED is turned on. This can
start the TPT trigger timer, which continues running.
But if bringing up the interface fails then the timer keeps running and
won't be stopped by anything, eventually it can be freed:

wifi: mac80211: only operate on TDLS peers in the TDLS code
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ieee80211_tdls_oper() can operate on the AP station, which then
yields various warnings when the AP station is removed then or
at a later point in time after being confused for a TDLS peer.
Always check that the station is a TDLS peer.
wifi: mac80211: unlist vifs when their netdev is unregistered
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: unlist vifs when their netdev is unregistered
mac80211 only removes vifs from the local->interfaces list when
an interface is removed via ieee80211_if_remove(), before it
unregisters the netdev. However, it's possible for a netdev to
be unregistered without going through that: When the netns that
holds the wiphy is destroyed, the wiphy is supposed to move to
the init_ns, but that can run into allocation failures.
Then, mac80211 has an interface listed that doesn't exist, and
will eventually hit

wifi: cfg80211: get the wiphy out of a dying network namespace
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

When a network namespace is destroyed, cfg80211_pernet_exit() moves any
wiphy back to the initial namespace, and just warns if that fails. But
moving an interface can fail (due to allocation failures), and then the
wiphy is left behind with a garbage netns pointer:

wifi: mac80211: don't allow injecting frames wider than the chanctx
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: don't allow injecting frames wider than the chanctx
Frames injected on a monitor interface can carry a radiotap
field requesting a bandwidth, which mac80211 passes down to
the driver regardless of the the actual operational bandwidth.
If the bandwidth requested is too wide, that triggers a warning
in hwsim:
WARN_ON(hwsim_get_chanwidth(bw) > hwsim_get_chanwidth(confbw))
Drop such frames entirely instead since they cannot be sent.
wifi: mac80211: mesh: reset the CSA state when leaving
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: mesh: reset the CSA state when leaving
ifmsh->csa is allocated in ieee80211_mesh_csa_beacon() and only freed
in ieee80211_mesh_finish_csa(), i.e. when the channel switch completes.
Leaving the mesh while a switch is still pending therefore leaks it.
Additionally, ifmsh->csa_role and ifmsh->chsw_ttl have their state leak
in this case, so things can get mixed up in addition to the memory
leak.
Refactor the reset and call it in ieee80211_stop_mesh() to fix it all.

ieee80211_join_mesh() acquires a channel context and then calls
ieee80211_start_mesh(), which can fail. In that case, the chanctx
isn't released then interface removal will attempt to unassign it
after it's removed from the driver, hitting:

wifi: mac80211: set up the TX info early to fix failure paths
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: set up the TX info early to fix failure paths
The previous commit 2c51457d930f ("wifi: mac80211: free ack status
frame on TX header build failure") cleaned up the leak, but still
left the code a bit messy and the failed SKB didn't get reported
to userspace.
Fix this up by initialising skb->cb[] earlier, which allows using
ieee80211_free_txskb() and therefore reports it for the failure
in ieee80211_build_hdr(), and unifies the ieee80211_skb_resize()
failure path with it.
drm: Fix drm_pending_vblank_event leak in error path for out_fence_ptr
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm: Fix drm_pending_vblank_event leak in error path for out_fence_ptr
When an out_fence_ptr is provided but DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_EVENT is not
set, a drm_pending_vblank_event will be allocated. If later, there is an
allocation failure or another failure at setup_out_fence(), that event
will not have base.fence set and it will not be released at
complete_signaling().
Release the event and set crtc_state->event to NULL just like in the
DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_EVENT case when there is a failure at
drm_event_reserve_init(). That is, prepare_signaling() releases the
event and there is
