This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ath9k: Fix potential out of bounds in ath9k_htc_txcompletion_cb() to the 5.8-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ath9k-fix-potential-out-of-bounds-in-ath9k_htc_txcom.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 2261beac8776843a4229b6529f0290eca53397c5 Author: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Aug 13 17:12:53 2020 +0300 ath9k: Fix potential out of bounds in ath9k_htc_txcompletion_cb() [ Upstream commit 2705cd7558e718a7240c64eb0afb2edad5f8c190 ] The value of "htc_hdr->endpoint_id" comes from skb->data so Smatch marks it as untrusted so we have to check it before using it as an array offset. This is similar to a bug that syzkaller found in commit e4ff08a4d727 ("ath9k: Fix use-after-free Write in ath9k_htc_rx_msg") so it is probably a real issue. Fixes: fb9987d0f748 ("ath9k_htc: Support for AR9271 chipset.")
