In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath6kl: clamp assoc request/response lengths before subtracting IE offsets
ath6kl_cfg80211_connect_event() subtracts fixed IE offsets from
assoc_req_len (-= 4) and assoc_resp_len (-= 6), both u8, with no lower
bound. The aggregate check recently added to ath6kl_wmi_connect_event_rx()
bounds the declared lengths from above (their sum must fit the received
event), but an assoc request/response shorter than its fixed offset still
underflows here: the u8 wraps to ~250, and cfg80211_connect_result() /
cfg80211_roamed() then treat that wrapped value as the IE length and copy
that many bytes out of the small assoc_info buffer to user space via
nl80211, disclosing adjacent slab memory.
Clamp both lengths to their offsets before subtracting.
Found by 0sec (https://0sec.ai) using automated source analysis; the
missing lower bound is evident from source. Compile-tested.
A flaw was found in the ath6kl Wi-Fi driver of the Linux kernel. An integer underflow vulnerability occurs when processing Wi-Fi association requests or responses that are shorter than expected. This can cause the system to read beyond the intended buffer, leading to the disclosure of adjacent memory to a remote attacker. This information disclosure could potentially expose sensitive data.
