Title
wifi: mwifiex: bound uAP association event IEs to the event buffer
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mwifiex: bound uAP association event IEs to the event buffer mwifiex_process_uap_event() handles EVENT_UAP_STA_ASSOC by exposing the (re)association request IEs that the firmware copies into the event: sinfo->assoc_req_ies = &event->data[len]; len = (u8 *)sinfo->assoc_req_ies - (u8 *)&event->frame_control; sinfo->assoc_req_ies_len = le16_to_cpu(event->len) - (u16)len; event->len is supplied by the device firmware and is never validated, and the subtraction is unchecked. assoc_req_ies points into adapter->event_body[MAX_EVENT_SIZE], a fixed-size array embedded in the kmalloc()'d struct mwifiex_adapter. On the ap_11n_enabled path mwifiex_set_sta_ht_cap() walks these IEs with cfg80211_find_ie(), whose for_each_element() loop dereferences each element header. A firmware-reported event->len larger than the bytes actually received makes assoc_req_ies_len describe IEs that extend past event_body, so the walk reads out of the adapter slab object, a slab-out-of-bounds read (KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in cfg80211_find_ie). An event->len smaller than the header instead makes the int subtraction negative, which wraps to a huge size_t when stored in assoc_req_ies_len. The same length is handed to cfg80211_new_sta(), so a more modest over-claim can also copy stale event_body bytes into the NL80211_CMD_NEW_STATION notification. A malicious or malfunctioning mwifiex device (USB/SDIO/PCIe) can deliver such an event while the interface is in AP/uAP mode. Validate event->len before use: reject a length that underflows the header or that would place the IEs outside the event_body[] buffer the event was copied into. event->len here is struct mwifiex_assoc_event.len, a payload field internal to this event, not the transport frame length, so it is validated in this handler rather than at the generic MWIFIEX_TYPE_EVENT receive path, which only sees the event cause and the transport frame length. The bound is against event_body[MAX_EVENT_SIZE] rather than the actually-received length because the transports store the event differently (USB and SDIO leave the 4-byte event header in event_skb, PCIe strips it via skb_pull), whereas event_body is the single fixed buffer all of them copy the event into. This is the event-path analogue of the receive-path bounds checks added in commit 119585281617 ("wifi: mwifiex: Fix OOB and integer underflow when rx packets").

This matches the Adjacent treatment used for other frame/event-driven mwifiex defects (CVE-2024-46755, CVE-2023-53226).\nAC:L - No race or attacker-uncontrollable state is involved: the attacker simply sends a crafted/oversized (re)association request to the AP, and the handler parses the resulting EVENT_UAP_STA_ASSOC unconditionally. The only precondition, an mwifiex interface in AP/uAP mode with ap_11n_enabled, is the normal steady state for tethering, Chromebook SoftAP and embedded AP deployments.\nPR:N - EVENT_UAP_STA_ASSOC is generated at association time, before the WPA/EAPOL handshake, so the attacker needs no credentials on or accepted association with the target host. No host user account or capability is involved anywhere on the path.\nUI:N - The event is consumed autonomously by mwifiex_process_uap_event() in the driver\u0027s main work handler as soon as the firmware delivers it; no local user or administrator action is required beyond the AP already running.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds read, the underflowed length and the resulting corruption are all confined to the host kernel\u0027s own security authority within the mwifiex/cfg80211 code; no hypervisor, IOMMU or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - An over-claimed event-\u003elen makes assoc_req_ies_len describe memory past adapter-\u003eevent_body[MAX_EVENT_SIZE], producing a slab-out-of-bounds read in cfg80211_find_ie() and, worse, causing nla_put() to copy up to tens of kilobytes of adjacent kernel slab memory into the NL80211_CMD_NEW_STATION notification delivered to userspace \u2014 an unbounded kernel heap disclosure, not a few stray bytes.\nI:H - An event-\u003elen below the header makes the int subtraction negative and wrap in size_t; that value reaches nla_put(), where nla_total_size() of the negative length evaluates to 0 and passes the tailroom check, so __nla_put()\u0027s memcpy() runs with the negative length widened to a huge size_t \u2014 an unbounded out-of-bounds write past the netlink skb. Driver 11n/AMSDU state is also set from out-of-bounds data.\nA:H - The commit documents a reproducible KASAN slab-out-of-bounds in cfg80211_find_ie, and the underflow path drives a memcpy of a near-2^64 length that guarantees an immediate kernel panic. The condition can be re-triggered at will by repeating the association attempt."

A firmware-reported event-\u003elen larger than the bytes\nactually received makes assoc_req_ies_len describe IEs that extend past\nevent_body, so the walk reads out of the adapter slab object, a\nslab-out-of-bounds read (KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in cfg80211_find_ie).\nAn event-\u003elen smaller than the header instead makes the int subtraction\nnegative, which wraps to a huge size_t when stored in assoc_req_ies_len.\nThe same length is handed to cfg80211_new_sta(), so a more modest\nover-claim can also copy stale event_body bytes into the\nNL80211_CMD_NEW_STATION notification.\n\nA malicious or malfunctioning mwifiex device (USB/SDIO/PCIe) can deliver\nsuch an event while the interface is in AP/uAP mode.\n\nValidate event-\u003elen before use: reject a length that underflows the\nheader or that would place the IEs outside the event_body[] buffer the\nevent was copied into.  event-\u003elen here is struct mwifiex_assoc_event.len,\na payload field internal to this event, not the transport frame length,\nso it is validated in this handler rather than at the generic\nMWIFIEX_TYPE_EVENT receive path, which only sees the event cause and the\ntransport frame length.  The bound is against event_body[MAX_EVENT_SIZE]\nrather than the actually-received length because the transports store the\nevent differently (USB and SDIO leave the 4-byte event header in\nevent_skb, PCIe strips it via skb_pull), whereas event_body is the single\nfixed buffer all of them copy the event into.  This is the event-path\nanalogue of the receive-path bounds checks added in commit 119585281617\n(\"wifi: mwifiex: Fix OOB and integer underflow when rx packets\")."
