In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: reject duplicate wiphy cipher suite entries
Duplicate entries in wiphy->cipher_suites do not describe any
additional capability, but cfg80211 currently accepts them and leaves
individual consumers to deal with them.
One such consumer is the WEXT compatibility code, which appends a WEP
key length for each WEP cipher entry it sees. Repeated WEP entries can
therefore overflow the fixed iw_range::encoding_size array returned by
SIOCGIWRANGE.
Reject duplicate cipher suite entries in wiphy_register() instead.
This keeps the cipher suite invariant in one place and makes malformed
wiphy descriptions fail early with -EINVAL, rather than relying on a
single cfg80211 user to handle duplicates correctly.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's cfg80211 wireless configuration subsystem. The subsystem fails to reject duplicate cipher suite entries during wireless device registration. This flaw allows a local user to cause an array buffer overflow within the Wireless Extensions (WEXT) compatibility layer, leading to memory corruption and a Denial of Service (DoS) via a system crash.
