Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rtl818x: Prevent using not initialized queues Using not existing queues can panic the kernel with rtl8180/rtl8185 cards. Ignore the skb priority for those cards, they only have one tx queue. Pierre Asselin (pa@panix.com) reported the kernel crash in the Gentoo forum: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1147832-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-25.html He also confirmed that this patch fixes the issue. In summary this happened: After updating wpa_supplicant from 2.9 to 2.10 the kernel crashed with a "divide error: 0000" when connecting to an AP. Control port tx now tries to use IEEE80211_AC_VO for the priority, which wpa_supplicants starts to use in 2.10. Since only the rtl8187se part of the driver supports QoS, the priority of the skb is set to IEEE80211_AC_BE (2) by mac80211 for rtl8180/rtl8185 cards. rtl8180 is then unconditionally reading out the priority and finally crashes on drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl818x/rtl8180/dev.c line 544 without this patch: idx = (ring->idx + skb_queue_len(&ring->queue)) % ring->entries "ring->entries" is zero for rtl8180/rtl8185 cards, tx_ring[2] never got initialized.

      "value": "En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: rtl818x: Evitar el uso de colas no inicializadas El uso de colas no existentes puede provocar un p\u00e1nico en el kernel con tarjetas rtl8180/rtl8185. Ignore la prioridad skb para esas tarjetas, solo tienen una cola tx. Pierre Asselin (pa@panix.com) inform\u00f3 sobre el fallo del kernel en el foro de Gentoo: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1147832-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-25.html Tambi\u00e9n confirm\u00f3 que este parche soluciona el problema. En resumen, esto sucedi\u00f3: Despu\u00e9s de actualizar wpa_supplicant de 2.9 a 2.10, el kernel se bloque\u00f3 con un \"error de divisi\u00f3n: 0000\" al conectarse a un AP. El puerto de control tx ahora intenta usar IEEE80211_AC_VO para la prioridad, que wpa_supplicants comienza a usar en 2.10. Como solo la parte rtl8187se del controlador admite QoS, la prioridad del skb se establece en IEEE80211_AC_BE (2) por mac80211 para las tarjetas rtl8180/rtl8185. Luego, rtl8180 lee incondicionalmente la prioridad y finalmente se bloquea en la l\u00ednea 544 de drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl818x/rtl8180/dev.c sin este parche: idx = (ring-\u0026gt;idx + skb_queue_len(\u0026amp;ring-\u0026gt;queue)) % ring-\u0026gt;entries \"ring-\u0026gt;entries\" es cero para las tarjetas rtl8180/rtl8185, tx_ring[2] nunca se inicializ\u00f3."
