[PATCH 4.11 40/88] cfg80211: Validate frequencies nested in NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_FREQUENCIES

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

 



4.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Srinivas Dasari <dasaris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit d7f13f7450369281a5d0ea463cc69890a15923ae upstream.

validate_scan_freqs() retrieves frequencies from attributes
nested in the attribute NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_FREQUENCIES with
nla_get_u32(), which reads 4 bytes from each attribute
without validating the size of data received. Attributes
nested in NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_FREQUENCIES don't have an nla policy.

Validate size of each attribute before parsing to avoid potential buffer
overread.

Fixes: 2a519311926 ("cfg80211/nl80211: scanning (and mac80211 update to use it)")
