[PATCH 6.1 1/2] wifi: mac80211: Allow NSS change only up to capability

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

 



From: Rameshkumar Sundaram <quic_ramess@xxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 57b341e9ab13e5688491bfd54f8b5502416c8905 ]

Stations can update bandwidth/NSS change in
VHT action frame with action type Operating Mode Notification.
(IEEE Std 802.11-2020 - 9.4.1.53 Operating Mode field)

For Operating Mode Notification, an RX NSS change to a value
greater than AP's maximum NSS should not be allowed.
During fuzz testing, by forcefully sending VHT Op. mode notif.
frames from STA with random rx_nss values, it is found that AP
accepts rx_nss values greater that APs maximum NSS instead of
discarding such NSS change.

Hence allow NSS change only up to maximum NSS that is negotiated
and capped to AP's capability during association.
