Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: wilc1000: validate assoc response length before subtracting header
wilc_parse_assoc_resp_info() computes the trailing IE length as
ies_len = buffer_len - sizeof(*res);
without first checking that buffer_len is at least sizeof(struct
wilc_assoc_resp) (6 bytes). buffer_len is the length reported for a
received association response (host_int_parse_assoc_resp_info() passes
hif_drv->assoc_resp / assoc_resp_info_len straight in) and must be
validated before the driver accesses the fixed header.
For a frame shorter than the 6-byte fixed header, the subtraction wraps.
For a four-byte response the result is truncated to a u16 ies_len of
65534, so kmemdup() then attempts to copy 65534 bytes starting at
buffer + sizeof(*res), beyond the valid association-response data
(CWE-125). A response shorter than four bytes can also cause an
out-of-bounds read of res->status_code at offsets 2 and 3.
Reject frames too short to hold the fixed header before touching the
header or computing ies_len. Also set the connection status to a failure
on this path: the caller falls through to a
"conn_info->status == WLAN_STATUS_SUCCESS" check after the parser
returns, so leaving the status untouched could let a malformed short
response be treated as a successful association.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's wilc1000 Wi-Fi driver. This vulnerability occurs when processing a malformed association response, where the length of the response is not properly validated before calculating the length of trailing information elements. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted, short association response, leading to an out-of-bounds read. This could result in a denial of service (DoS) or potentially the disclosure of sensitive information.
Отчет
This issue affects Atmel wilc1000 Wi-Fi. Association response IE length is computed without checking minimum header size, allowing integer underflow on malformed frames. Systems without wilc1000 hardware are not affected.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent the wilc1000 module from loading. See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for instructions.
