From 47abd2ca281531deee38a3b3770d885e270e9fc9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Baochen Qiang Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 14:43:22 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 01/14] wifi: ath12k: fix out-of-bounds clear_bit in ath12k_mac_dp_peer_cleanup() ath12k_mac_dp_peer_cleanup() clears the ML peer ID slot on the free_ml_peer_id_map bitmap by indexing it with dp_peer->peer_id. That is wrong: dp_peer->peer_id for an MLO peer always carries the ATH12K_PEER_ML_ID_VALID bit (BIT(13)), so clear_bit() is invoked with index >= 0x2000, which is far outside the bitmap of ATH12K_MAX_MLO_PEERS (256) bits and corrupts memory adjacent to ah->free_ml_peer_id_map. The intended bitmap entry also never gets cleared, so subsequent ath12k_peer_ml_alloc() calls eventually run out of IDs. The ID without the VALID bit is what ath12k_peer_ml_alloc() returned and is stored in ahsta->ml_peer_id. Use that instead. While there, also reset ahsta->ml_peer_id to ATH12K_MLO_PEER_ID_INVALID so the bitmap and ahsta->ml_peer_id stay in sync.

The reinit_completion() was buried in ath12k_peer_assoc_prepare(), far from the wait_for_completion_timeout() that consumes it, making the reinit/send/wait sequence hard to follow, and the three open-coded copies are easy to get out of sync. Move the sequence into a new helper ath12k_mac_peer_assoc() and call it from all three sites. The reinit, send and wait now live together so the completion's lifecycle is easy to read. While at it, ath12k_sta_rc_update_wk() previously warned but still waited the full timeout when the peer assoc command failed to send. Now a send failure returns immediately and skips the pointless 1 second wait, matching the other two callers.

Currently ath12k host allocates this ID and sends it to firmware by default for all devices. This breaks WCN7850/QCC2072, because the host maintained ID may be different from the firmware-allocated one. Consequently data path may fail to find the dp peer and drop some received packets. From user point of view, this results in bugs reported in [1] or the 4-way handshake timeout issue. Add host_alloc_ml_id flag to struct ath12k_hw_params (and a copy on struct ath12k_hw for hot-path access) so subsequent patches can branch on it. Set true for QCN9274/IPQ5332/IPQ5424, false for WCN7850/QCC2072. The flag will be consumed by subsequent patches.

This needs to be gated on chips where the firmware allocates the MLD peer ID: - WCN7850/QCC2072 firmware always picks the ID itself and does not honor a host-supplied one, so the value would be silently ignored anyway; - QCC2072 firmware additionally crashes during MLO disconnect when ATH12K_WMI_FLAG_MLO_PEER_ID_VALID was set in the preceding peer assoc, so the bit must not be sent at all. Branch on ah->host_alloc_ml_id: - When true (QCN9274 etc.), behavior is unchanged: peer_id_valid is set and the raw ahsta->ml_peer_id (without the VALID bit) is sent down. - When false (WCN7850, QCC2072), peer_id_valid stays unset and ml_peer_id is sent as 0. The firmware ignores both fields and reports the ID it allocated through HTT_T2H_MSG_TYPE_MLO_RX_PEER_MAP. The early-return on ahsta->ml_peer_id == ATH12K_MLO_PEER_ID_INVALID only applies on the host-alloc path, since on the firmware-alloc path the value is ATH12K_MLO_PEER_ID_PENDING here, not INVALID.

The crash trace shows that a subsequent SIOCSIWESSID triggers a connection attempt which calls cfg80211_sme_get_conn_ies() to process the stored IE buffer, causing: - An out-of-bounds read in skip_ie() which reads ies[pos+1] (the length byte) past the end of the 1-byte buffer. - An integer underflow in the memcpy size argument when offs returned by ieee80211_ie_split() exceeds ies_len, causing unsigned subtraction to wrap to SIZE_MAX and triggering a fortify panic. Fix this by validating the IE buffer in cfg80211_wext_siwgenie() before storing it.

For each subframe it passes the subframe data pointer to mwifiex_process_tdls_action_frame(), but pairs it with skb->len, the length of the A-MSDU parent, instead of rx_skb->len: rx_skb = __skb_dequeue(&list); rx_hdr = (struct rx_packet_hdr *)rx_skb->data; if (ISSUPP_TDLS_ENABLED(priv->adapter->fw_cap_info) && ntohs(rx_hdr->eth803_hdr.h_proto) == ETH_P_TDLS) { mwifiex_process_tdls_action_frame(priv, (u8 *)rx_hdr, skb->len); } The parent is not a valid description of that buffer, and may not be valid memory at all. ieee80211_amsdu_to_8023s() ends with if (!reuse_skb) dev_kfree_skb(skb); and it only sets reuse_skb when the parent is linear, is not a head_frag, and is being consumed as the *last* subframe. So when the parent does not qualify for reuse it has already been freed, and the read of skb->len is a use-after-free. When it is reused, skb->len is the length of the last subframe, applied to every earlier subframe, which over-states the buffer whenever an earlier subframe is shorter. The callee cannot absorb a wrong length, because it derives its own ceiling from the value it is given. Each frame type computes ies_len = len - sizeof(struct ethhdr) - TDLS_*_FIX_LEN; and the element walk is then bounded entirely against that ceiling, for (end = pos + ies_len; pos + 1 < end; pos += 2 + pos[1]) { u8 ie_len = pos[1]; if (pos + 2 + ie_len > end) break; so a too-large len moves end past the end of the subframe and the walk reads and copies beyond it. The A-MSDU layout is chosen by the sender, which makes the difference between the last subframe and a shorter earlier one remotely selectable. Reaching this requires TDLS support in firmware and the TDLS ethertype on the subframe. The other caller, mwifiex_process_rx_packet(), is correct: it passes a pointer and a length that describe the same region of the RX buffer. Pass rx_skb->len, the length of the subframe actually being parsed.

Both the tracepoint and the driver callback consume the complete parameters block, not merely req_type. Do not pass a short individual agreement to the driver. Broadcast agreements remain unchanged because they are rejected locally after accessing only req_type.

Also allocate debugfs buffer for all stations (32 or 25) to do not use num_stations since it might not be right.
