When a netlink socket that owns a PMSR session is closed,
cfg80211_release_pmsr() clears the request's nl_portid and queues
pmsr_free_wk to call cfg80211_pmsr_process_abort() asynchronously.
If the interface tears down concurrently, cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down()
is called under wiphy_lock and calls cancel_work_sync(&pmsr_free_wk)
to wait for any running work. The work function acquires wiphy_lock
via guard(wiphy) before calling process_abort.
This is a deadlock: wdev_down holds wiphy_lock and blocks inside
cancel_work_sync(); pmsr_free_wk blocks trying to acquire that same
wiphy_lock. Neither thread can proceed.
The same deadlock is reachable from cfg80211_leave_locked(), which
calls cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down() for all interface types under
wiphy_lock.
Fix this by converting pmsr_free_wk from a plain work_struct to a
wiphy_work. The wiphy_work dispatcher holds wiphy_lock when running
work items, so the explicit guard(wiphy) in the work function is no
longer needed. wiphy_work_cancel() can be called safely while holding
wiphy_lock - since wiphy_lock prevents the work from running
concurrently, wiphy_work_cancel() never blocks, eliminating the
deadlock.
Remove the cancel_work_sync() for pmsr_free_wk from the
NETDEV_GOING_DOWN handler. cfg80211_leave(), called unconditionally
just before it, already cancels any pending work under wiphy_lock
via wiphy_work_cancel() inside cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down().

cfg80211_gen_new_ie() copies ML probe response elements from
the parent frame when the parent EHT multi-link element has an
MLD ID matching the nontransmitted BSSID index.
The code only checked that the extension element had more than
one byte before calling ieee80211_mle_get_mld_id(). That helper
assumes a BASIC MLE with enough common info and documents that
callers must first use ieee80211_mle_type_ok().
Attack chain:
malicious AP sends a short EHT MLE in an MBSSID beacon.
cfg80211_inform_bss_frame_data() stores the copied IE buffer.
cfg80211_parse_mbssid_data() builds the nontransmitted BSS IE.
cfg80211_gen_new_ie() sees the EHT MLE in the parent frame.
ieee80211_mle_get_mld_id() then reads past the IE boundary.
Validate the MLE type and size before reading the MLD ID. This
matches the contract required by the MLE helper and rejects the
short element before any internal MLE fields are accessed.

cfg80211_sched_scan_results() can queue rdev->sched_scan_res_wk from a
driver result notification while a scheduled scan request is present. The
work callback recovers the containing cfg80211_registered_device and then
locks the wiphy and walks the scheduled-scan request list.
wiphy_unregister() already makes the wiphy unreachable and drains rdev work
items before cfg80211_dev_free() can release the object, but it does not
drain sched_scan_res_wk. A queued or running result work item can therefore
cross the unregister/free boundary and access freed rdev state.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:
scheduled-scan result path: unregister/free path:
1. cfg80211_sched_scan_results() 1. interface teardown stops and
queues rdev->sched_scan_res_wk. removes the scheduled scan request.
2. cfg80211_wq starts the work 2. wiphy_unregister() drains other
item and recovers rdev. rdev work items.
3. The worker locks rdev->wiphy 3. cfg80211_dev_free() destroys and
and walks rdev state. frees rdev.
Cancel sched_scan_res_wk in wiphy_unregister() alongside the other rdev
work items. cancel_work_sync() removes a pending result notification and
waits for an already running callback, so cfg80211_dev_free() cannot free
rdev while this work item is still active.

looked the wiphy up by index on a later call without confirming it was
still in the caller's netns. Two more dumpit paths have the same gap.
nl80211_testmode_dump() and nl80211_prepare_vendor_dump() both keep the
wiphy index in cb->args[] and look it up again on later calls, through
cfg80211_rdev_by_wiphy_idx() and wiphy_idx_to_wiphy(). The first call
binds to the caller's netns. A later call does not check it again. In
between, the wiphy can move to another netns via
NL80211_CMD_SET_WIPHY_NETNS.
Add the same net_eq() check to both. On a mismatch, return -ENODEV and
the dump ends.
No mainline driver registers .testmode_dump or
wiphy_vendor_command.dumpit, so these paths are not reachable today.
Drivers outside the tree can register either.

cfg80211_merge_profile() reassembles a Multi-BSSID non-transmitted BSS
profile that has been split across multiple consecutive MBSSID elements.
Its while-loop calls
cfg80211_get_profile_continuation(ie, ielen, mbssid_elem, sub_elem)
but never advances mbssid_elem or sub_elem inside the body. Each
iteration therefore searches for a continuation that follows the same
fixed pair; the helper returns the same next_mbssid; and the same
next_sub bytes are memcpy()'d into merged_ie at a growing offset until
the buffer fills.
Advance both mbssid_elem and sub_elem to the just-consumed continuation
so the next call to cfg80211_get_profile_continuation() searches for a
further continuation beyond it (or returns NULL when none exists).
A specially-crafted malicious beacon can take advantage of this bug
to cause the kernel to spend an excessive amount of time in
cfg80211_merge_profile (up to as much as 2ms per beacon received),
which could theoretically be abused in some way.

| NPCA primary channel

V V
| p | | n | | | | | |
| BSS channel |

nl80211_peer_measurement_ftm_req_type enum to allow userspace to
specify the ranging request type per peer:
- NL80211_PMSR_FTM_REQ_TYPE_INFRA: STA-to-AP or AP-to-STA ranging
(default if attribute is absent)
- NL80211_PMSR_FTM_REQ_TYPE_PD: peer-to-peer ranging
Validate the request type against the device TYPE_CAPS capabilities
advertised via NL80211_PMSR_FTM_CAPA_ATTR_TYPE_CAPS. Reject PD
requests if the device does not advertise PD support.
Reject PD requests that set trigger-based ranging, as TB ranging is
not compatible with peer-to-peer proximity detection.
Add ftms_per_burst limit of 4 for PD NTB ranging requests.

Introduce Proximity Detection (PD) capabilities in Peer Measurement
Service (PMSR) as defined in the Wi-Fi Alliance specification
"Proximity Ranging (PR) Implementation Consideration Draft 1.9 Rev 1
section 3.3". This enables devices to advertise peer to peer ranging
support.
Restructure FTM capabilities in cfg80211_pmsr_capabilities to replace
the single support_rsta flag with nested ista and rsta sub-structs,
each carrying per-mode flags for Non-Trigger Based (NTB), Trigger Based
(TB), and EDCA based ranging. This allows drivers to advertise detailed
role and protocol support for both initiator and responder roles.
Add support to pass additional ISTA and RSTA role capabilities to
userspace using new nested ISTA_CAPS and RSTA_CAPS attributes. The
legacy RSTA_SUPPORT flag is retained for backward compatibility.
Add NL80211_PMSR_FTM_CAPA_ATTR_TYPE_CAPS nested attribute using the
nl80211_peer_measurement_ftm_type_capa enum with two sub-flags:
NL80211_PMSR_FTM_TYPE_CAPA_ATTR_INFRA_SUPPORT for STA-to-AP or
AP-to-STA ranging, and NL80211_PMSR_FTM_TYPE_CAPA_ATTR_PD_SUPPORT
for peer-to-peer ranging.
Add CONCURRENT_ISTA_RSTA_SUPPORT as a FTM capability flag indicating
the device can simultaneously act as initiator and responder in a
multi-peer measurement request.
Extend FTM capabilities with antenna configuration fields
(max_no_of_tx_antennas, max_no_of_rx_antennas) for the PR Element
during PASN negotiation, and ranging interval limits
(min_allowed_ranging_interval_edca, min_allowed_ranging_interval_ntb)
to advertise device timing constraints for EDCA and NTB-based ranging.
Update the FTM request validation path in pmsr.c to check RSTA
requests against the per-mode rsta capabilities (NTB, TB, EDCA),
rejecting requests for modes the device does not support.

Currently, the proximity detection (PD) interface type has no
start/stop commands defined, preventing user space from
controlling PD operations through the nl80211 interface.
Add NL80211_CMD_START_PD and NL80211_CMD_STOP_PD commands to
allow user space to start and stop a PD interface. Add the
corresponding start_pd and stop_pd operations to cfg80211_ops
and ieee80211_ops, along with nl80211 command handlers, rdev
wrappers, and tracing support. Validate that drivers advertising
PD interface support implement the required operations. Handle
PD interface teardown during device unregistration and when
the interface leaves the network.

Add a new wdev-only interface type NL80211_IFTYPE_PD to support
Proximity Detection (PD) operations such as PASN and peer measurement
operations. This interface type operates without a netdev, similar to
P2P_DEVICE and NAN interfaces.
Implement support across cfg80211 and mac80211 layers with PD-specific
checks gated by the NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_SECURE_RTT feature flag,
management frame registration and transmission capabilities, and proper
channel context handling where PD interfaces are excluded from bandwidth
calculations. Update mac80211 to recognize the new interface type in the
relevant paths for this management-only interface.
PD discovery can be performed on any available interface, such as
NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION.
If PD/PMSR uses the MAC address of an existing interface type, such as
NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION, then pairing and measurement shall use that
same interface. If PD/PMSR uses a different MAC address, such as a
random MAC address, then pairing and measurement can be performed on a
new NL80211_IFTYPE_PD interface created with that random MAC address.

Currently the remain_on_channel operation does not support
filtering incoming frames by destination MAC address. This
prevents use cases such as PASN authentication in the
responder side that need to receive frames addressed to a
specific MAC during the off-channel period.
Add an rx_addr parameter to the remain_on_channel operation
callback and propagate it through the call chain from nl80211
to driver implementations. Introduce the extended feature
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_ROC_ADDR_FILTER as a capability gate so
that cfg80211 rejects the request if the driver does not
advertise support for address filtering. Extract the address
from the NL80211_ATTR_MAC attribute when provided in the
netlink message and update the tracing infrastructure to
include the address in remain_on_channel trace events. The
rx_addr parameter is optional and can be NULL, maintaining
backward compatibility with existing drivers.

In SME-in-driver mode, the driver handles the entire (re)association
exchange. Userspace (e.g., wpa_supplicant) currently has no explicit
indication of whether the (re)association exchange was encrypted,
making it difficult to distinguish EPP (Enhanced Privacy Protection,
IEEE 802.11bi) associations from non-EPP associations.
When (Re)Association frame encryption is used, the (Re)Association
Response frame must contain a Key Delivery element as specified in
IEEE P802.11bi/D4.0, Table 9-65. Userspace must process this element
only when the (Re)Association Response frame is actually encrypted.
Processing it unconditionally for unencrypted frames leads to incorrect
behavior. Without an explicit indication from the driver, userspace
cannot determine whether encryption was used and whether the Key
Delivery element is valid.
Add a new flag attribute NL80211_ATTR_ASSOC_ENCRYPTED and a
corresponding field "assoc_encrypted" in cfg80211_connect_resp_params
to indicate that both the (Re)Association Request and Response frames
are transmitted encrypted over the air.
For mac80211-based drivers, extend cfg80211_rx_assoc_resp_data with
the assoc_encrypted field as well, which is then propagated to
cfg80211_connect_resp_params.
Pass the flag to userspace via NL80211_CMD_CONNECT event.

The HT/VHT/HE/EHT/UHR operation can change, and might thus be
updated on each beacon update. Move them to the beacon struct
and parse them out of the beacon also on updates, not just on
starting the AP.
This also fixes checks in two ways:
- Regulatory checks in nl80211_validate_ap_phy_operation() are
now done also on updates, disallowing enabling HE/EHT/UHR on
channels that don't allow that after start. This checks only
operation now, but clients can't use it without operation.
- NL80211_ATTR_UHR_OPERATION is now required whenever UHR is
present in the beacon, and rejected otherwise.
