In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath9k: add range check for conn_rsp_epid in htc_connect_service()
I found the following bug in my fuzzer:
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_hst.c:26:51
index 255 is out of range for type 'htc_endpoint [22]'
CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 8 Comm: kworker/0:0 Not tainted 6.11.0-rc6-dirty #14
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.15.0-1 04/01/2014
Workqueue: events request_firmware_work_func
Call Trace:
dump_stack_lvl+0x180/0x1b0
__ubsan_handle_out_of_bounds+0xd4/0x130
htc_issue_send.constprop.0+0x20c/0x230
? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x3c/0x70
ath9k_wmi_cmd+0x41d/0x610
? mark_held_locks+0x9f/0xe0
...
Since this bug has been confirmed to be caused by insufficient verification
of conn_rsp_epid, I think it would be appropriate to add a range check for
conn_rsp_epid to htc_connect_service() to prevent the bug from occurring.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ath9k wireless driver. A local user can exploit missing range validation of the endpoint identifier during device communication, leading to an out-of-bounds array access. This vulnerability can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) by crashing the kernel and may potentially disclose sensitive kernel memory.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Prevent the ath9k_htc kernel module from being loaded by blacklisting the driver:
- Create a configuration file in /etc/modprobe.d/:
echo "install ath9k_htc /bin/true" > /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k_htc.conf
echo "blacklist ath9k_htc" >> /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k_htc.conf
- If the module is currently loaded, unload it:
modprobe -r ath9k_htc
Caveat: Disabling this module prevents the system from operating Atheros USB wireless network adapters. A system reboot may be required if the module is actively in use and cannot be unloaded.
