Hello,
I have discovered a problem in mwifiex in kernel 3.16.
Connection to a WEP access point works correctly, however disassociation
results in corruption of the mwifiex data structures leading to an oops
or a panic.
The problem does not occur in 3.13. I have not yet been able to test
more recent kernels but the git logs do not seem to indicate any fixes
for this.
The memory corruption occurs in mwifiex_ret_802_11_key_material_v1()
when a short command response is received without a key length causing
non initialised memory to be interpreted as the key length resulting in
a memcpy() overwriting the part of the driver's private data structure
beyond the key area.
Here are some added logs showing the problem:

The reason for the difference appears to be this code in
mwifiex_sec_ioctl_set_wep_key()
if (encrypt_key->key_disable)
memset(&priv->wep_key[index], 0,
sizeof(struct mwifiex_wep_key));
The zeroing of the key means causes mwifiex_set_keyparamset_wep() to not
find any keys and the command sent to not include them.
Not knowing the firmware interface I don't know if this is correct or
not (ie is the real problem the command sent or the handling of the result?)
For the moment this workaround "fixes" the problem for me: (hack
patch, probably white space broken)

Hi Martin,
Thanks for reporting this issue.
What is chipset and FW you are using? Are you using same FW on both 3.13 and 3.16?
Key material v2 was introduced somewhere between 3.13 to 3.16 which may have caused this issue.
We will look into this.
Thanks,
Avinash

Tried that firmware (14.66.35.p52) with kernel 3.16, same issue.
It still uses V1 keys.
I also tried kernel 3.18-rc5 (with the original 14.66.9.p96 firmware)
and, while it didn't crash, some logs I added showed that a short (10
byte) response was still being handed to
mwifiex_ret_802_11_key_material_v1().
It didn't crash because I was "lucky" enough that the non initialized
key length field happened to contain zero.

Martin

Hi Avinash,
Thanks for the quick reply.

Chipset is SD8787 (on a Lesswire Wiibear11n SDIO wifi module).
We are using firware 14.66.9.p96 (with both 3.13 an 3.16 kernels)
On 3.16 the v1 key materiel is being used.
I've noticied that there is a more recent firmware version available in
the Marvell git repository but that it doesn't seem to have propagated
to the linux-firmware repository.
Are there any firmware changelogs avaliable?
Thinking about this some more I've realized that, in addition to this
issue, even if the whole response message does come from the firmware,
the kernel is trusting the key size provided, even if that means
overwriting memory. Probably not a good idea in the event of the
possibility of buggy or malicious firmware...

Hi Martin,
If v1 is being used which can be case because older FWs dont have support for keymaterial v2, I suspect FW is returning bad length.
>>I've noticied that there is a more recent firmware version available in
the Marvell git repository but that it doesn't seem to have propagated
to the linux-firmware repository.
Are there any firmware changelogs avaliable?
Yes; 14.66.35.p52 FW has yet not propagated to linux-firmware.
Could you please check if issue is seen with this FW as well?
Here is link:

Yes; we need to have a check for command length/TLV length less than maximum command response size.
We will add this check.
Thanks,

Hi Avinash,
Thanks for the quick reply.

Chipset is SD8787 (on a Lesswire Wiibear11n SDIO wifi module).
We are using firware 14.66.9.p96 (with both 3.13 an 3.16 kernels)
On 3.16 the v1 key materiel is being used.
I've noticied that there is a more recent firmware version available in
the Marvell git repository but that it doesn't seem to have propagated
to the linux-firmware repository.
Are there any firmware changelogs avaliable?
Thinking about this some more I've realized that, in addition to this
issue, even if the whole response message does come from the firmware,
the kernel is trusting the key size provided, even if that means
overwriting memory. Probably not a good idea in the event of the
possibility of buggy or malicious firmware...

Hi Martin,
Issue has been tracked down and it was discovered that with key material v1 API FW, action delete is not supported.
WEP encryption in such cases is disabled by resetting bit in mac_filter which happens in the same function.
Patch has been posted to linux-wireless list; here is link for your reference:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/5505651/
I have added your "reported-by".
Thanks,
Avinash

Tried that firmware (14.66.35.p52) with kernel 3.16, same issue.
It still uses V1 keys.
I also tried kernel 3.18-rc5 (with the original 14.66.9.p96 firmware)
and, while it didn't crash, some logs I added showed that a short (10
byte) response was still being handed to
mwifiex_ret_802_11_key_material_v1().
It didn't crash because I was "lucky" enough that the non initialized
key length field happened to contain zero.
Regards,
Martin
