[PATCH] ath9k: Fix potential stack-out-of-bounds write in ath9k_wmi_rsp_callback()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Fix a stack-out-of-bounds write that occurs in a WMI response callback
function that is called after a timeout occurs in ath9k_wmi_cmd().
The callback writes to wmi->cmd_rsp_buf, a stack-allocated buffer that
could no longer be valid when a timeout occurs. Checking seq_no is
insufficient as the bug can occur between the timeout and the next WMI
command. Add wmi->timedout to check whether a timeout occurred.

Found by a modified version of syzkaller.

BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in ath9k_wmi_ctrl_rx
Write of size 4
