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

 



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

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

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavoars@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit eec679e4ac5f47507774956fb3479c206e761af7 upstream.

In a TLV encoding scheme, the Length part represents the length after
the header containing the values for type and length. In this case,
`tlv_len` should be:

tlv_len == (sizeof(*tlv_rxba) - 1) - sizeof(tlv_rxba->header) + tlv_bitmap_len

Notice that the `- 1` accounts for the one-element array `bitmap`, which
1-byte size is already included in `sizeof(*tlv_rxba)`.

So, if the above is correct, there is a double-counting of some members
in `struct mwifiex_ie_types_rxba_sync`, when `tlv_buf_left` and `tmp`
are calculated:

968                 tlv_buf_left -= (sizeof(*tlv_rxba) + tlv_len);
969                 tmp = (u8 *)tlv_rxba + tlv_len + sizeof(*tlv_rxba);

in specific, members:

drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/fw.h:777
 777         u8 mac[ETH_ALEN];
 778         u8 tid;
 779         u8 reserved;
 780         __le16 seq_num;
 781         __le16 bitmap_len;

This is clearly wrong, and affects the subsequent decoding of data in
`event_buf` through `tlv_rxba`:

970                 tlv_rxba = (struct mwifiex_ie_types_rxba_sync *)tmp;

Fix this by using `sizeof(tlv_rxba->header)` instead of `sizeof(*tlv_rxba)`
in the calculation of `tlv_buf_left` and `tmp`.

This results in the following binary differences before/after changes:

The above reflects the desired change: avoid counting 13 too many bytes;
which is the total size of the double-counted members in
`struct mwifiex_ie_types_rxba_sync`:

$ pahole -C mwifiex_ie_types_rxba_sync drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/11n_rxreorder.o
struct mwifiex_ie_types_rxba_sync {
	struct mwifiex_ie_types_header header;           /*     0     4 */
