[PATCH] mac80211: check if key has TKIP type before updating IV

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

 



This patch fix corruption which can manifest itself by following crash
when switching on rfkill switch with rt2x00 driver:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=615362

Pointer key->u.ccmp.tfm of group key get corrupted in:

ieee80211_rx_h_michael_mic_verify():

        /* update IV in key information to be able to detect replays */
        rx->key->u.tkip.rx[rx->security_idx].iv32 = rx->tkip_iv32;
        rx->key->u.tkip.rx[rx->security_idx].iv16 = rx->tkip_iv16;

because rt2x00 always set RX_FLAG_MMIC_STRIPPED, even if key is not TKIP.

We already check type of the key in different path in
ieee80211_rx_h_michael_mic_verify() function, so adding additional
check here is reasonable.
