From: Zekun Shen <bruceshenzk@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit bad60b8d1a7194df38fd7fe4b22f3f4dcf775099 ] The idx in __ath10k_htt_rx_ring_fill_n function lives in consistent dma region writable by the device. Malfunctional or malicious device could manipulate such idx to have a OOB write. Either by htt->rx_ring.netbufs_ring[idx] = skb; or by ath10k_htt_set_paddrs_ring(htt, paddr, idx); The idx can also be negative as it's signed, giving a large memory space to write to. It's possibly exploitable by corruptting a legit pointer with a skb pointer. And then fill skb with payload as rougue object. Part of the log here. Sometimes it appears as UAF when writing to a freed memory by chance.
