LinuxLists.cc - [PATCH] libertas: Fix two buffer overflows at parsing bss descriptor

2019-11-22 05:30:50

Subject: [PATCH] libertas: Fix two buffer overflows at parsing bss descriptor

From: Wen Huang <[email protected]>

add_ie_rates() copys rates without checking the length
in bss descriptor from remote AP.when victim connects to
remote attacker, this may trigger buffer overflow.
lbs_ibss_join_existing() copys rates without checking the length
in bss descriptor from remote IBSS node.when victim connects to
remote attacker, this may trigger buffer overflow.
Fix them by putting the length check before performing copy.

This fix addresses CVE-2019-14896 and CVE-2019-14897.

I was wondering why I didn't see this mail in patchwork:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11257187/

And then I noticed this:

X-Patchwork-Hint: ignore

kbuild team, why are you adding that header? It's really bad for a
maintainer like me who uses patchwork actively, it means that all these
important warnings are not visible in patchwork and can be easily missed
by the maintainers.

Hi,

the patch queued as e5e884b42639 ("libertas: Fix two buffer overflows at
parsing bss descriptor") at the wireless tree doesn't look completely
correct to me.

This hunk here...

... makes the error path skip over the rcu_read_unlock() following later
in the code and leaves the RCU read section unbalanced.

Also, I'm wondering if ret should perhaps get set to some -Exxxx in case
of rates_max > MAX_RATES?

Thanks,

Nicolai
