[PATCH] wifi: nl80211: override all other flags if MONITOR_FLAG_COOK_FRAMES is set

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

 



It is possible to set both MONITOR_FLAG_COOK_FRAMES and MONITOR_FLAG_ACTIVE
flags simultaneously on the same monitor interface from the userspace. This
causes a sub-interface to be created with no IEEE80211_SDATA_IN_DRIVER bit
set because the monitor interface is in the cooked state and it takes
precedence over all other states. When the interface is then being deleted
the kernel calls WARN_ONCE() from check_sdata_in_driver() because of missing
that bit.

Fix this by overriding all flags if MONITOR_FLAG_COOK_FRAMES is set because
this flag is incompatible with other monitor flags being set.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.
