[PATCH v2] 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. Set wmi->last_seq_id to
0 when a timeout occurred.

Found by a modified version of syzkaller.

v1->v2:
  Reset wmi->last_seq_id to 0 instead of introducing a new 'timedout'
  field when a timeout occurred.
