    wifi: ath12k: Fix buffer overflow when scanning with extraie · 06f2ab86
    Wen Gong authored
    If cfg80211 is providing extraie's for a scanning process then ath12k will
    copy that over to the firmware. The extraie.len is a 32 bit value in struct
    element_info and describes the amount of bytes for the vendor information
    elements.
    
    The problem is the allocation of the buffer. It has to align the TLV
    sections by 4 bytes. But the code was using an u8 to store the newly
    calculated length of this section (with alignment). And the new
    calculated length was then used to allocate the skbuff. But the actual
    code to copy in the data is using the extraie.len and not the calculated
    "aligned" length.
    
    The length of extraie with IEEE80211_HW_SINGLE_SCAN_ON_ALL_BANDS enabled
    was 264 bytes during tests with a wifi card. But it only allocated 8
    bytes (264 bytes % 256) for it. As consequence, the code to memcpy the
    extraie into the skb was then just overwriting data after skb->end. Things
    like shinfo were therefore corrupted. This could usually be seen by a crash
    in skb_zcopy_clear which tried to call a ubuf_info callback (using a bogus
    address).
    
    Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.0-03427-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-1.15378.4
