staging: rtl8723bs: fix null dereference in find_network

2026-03-04T12:20:53Z

[ Upstream commit 41460a19654c32d39fd0e3a3671cd8d4b7b8479f ] The variable pwlan has the possibility of being NULL when passed into rtw_free_network_nolock() which would later dereference the variable.

staging: rtl8723bs: fix memory leak on failure path

2026-03-04T12:20:34Z

[ Upstream commit abe850d82c8cb72d28700673678724e779b1826e ] cfg80211_inform_bss_frame() may return NULL on failure. In that case, the allocated buffer 'buf' is not freed and the function returns early, leading to potential memory leak. Fix this by ensuring that 'buf' is freed on both success and failure paths.

staging: rtl8723bs: fix missing status update on sdio_alloc_irq() failure

2026-03-04T12:20:33Z

[ Upstream commit 618b4aec12faabc7579a6b0df046842d798a4c7c ] The return value of sdio_alloc_irq() was not stored in status. If sdio_alloc_irq() fails after rtw_drv_register_netdev() succeeds, status remains _SUCCESS and the error path skips resource cleanup, while rtw_drv_init() still returns success. Store the return value of sdio_alloc_irq() in status and reuse the existing error handling which relies on status.

staging: greybus: lights: avoid NULL deref

2026-03-04T12:19:58Z

[ Upstream commit efcffd9a6ad8d190651498d5eda53bfc7cf683a7 ] gb_lights_light_config() stores channel_count before allocating the channels array. If kcalloc() fails, gb_lights_release() iterates the non-zero count and dereferences light->channels, which is NULL. Allocate channels first and only then publish channels_count so the cleanup path can't walk a NULL pointer.

tty: introduce and use tty_port_tty_vhangup() helper

2026-01-11T14:19:23Z

[ Upstream commit 2b5eac0f8c6e79bc152c8804f9f88d16717013ab ] This code (tty_get -> vhangup -> tty_put) is repeated on few places. Introduce a helper similar to tty_port_tty_hangup() (asynchronous) to handle even vhangup (synchronous). And use it on those places. In fact, reuse the tty_port_tty_hangup()'s code and call tty_vhangup() depending on a new bool parameter.

staging: fbtft: core: fix potential memory leak in fbtft_probe_common()

[ Upstream commit 47d3949a9b04cbcb0e10abae30c2b53e98706e11 ] fbtft_probe_common() allocates a memory chunk for "info" with fbtft_framebuffer_alloc(). When "display->buswidth == 0" is true, the function returns without releasing the "info", which will lead to a memory leak. Fix it by calling fbtft_framebuffer_release() when "display->buswidth == 0" is true.

staging: rtl8723bs: fix out-of-bounds read in OnBeacon ESR IE parsing

2026-01-11T14:18:17Z

commit 502ddcc405b69fa92e0add6c1714d654504f6fd7 upstream. The Extended Supported Rates (ESR) IE handling in OnBeacon accessed *(p + 1 + ielen) and *(p + 2 + ielen) without verifying that these offsets lie within the received frame buffer. A malformed beacon with an ESR IE positioned at the end of the buffer could cause an out-of-bounds read, potentially triggering a kernel panic. Add a boundary check to ensure that the ESR IE body and the subsequent bytes are within the limits of the frame before attempting to access them. This prevents OOB reads caused by malformed beacon frames. Signed-off-by: Navaneeth K Cc: stable Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: rtl8723bs: fix stack buffer overflow in OnAssocReq IE parsing

2026-01-11T14:18:17Z

commit 6ef0e1c10455927867cac8f0ed6b49f328f8cf95 upstream. The Supported Rates IE length from an incoming Association Request frame was used directly as the memcpy() length when copying into a fixed-size 16-byte stack buffer (supportRate). A malicious station can advertise an IE length larger than 16 bytes, causing a stack buffer overflow. Clamp ie_len to the buffer size before copying the Supported Rates IE, and correct the bounds check when merging Extended Supported Rates to prevent a second potential overflow. This prevents kernel stack corruption triggered by malformed association requests. Signed-off-by: Navaneeth K Cc: stable Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: rtl8723bs: fix out-of-bounds read in rtw_get_ie() parser

2026-01-11T14:18:16Z

commit 154828bf9559b9c8421fc2f0d7f7f76b3683aaed upstream. The Information Element (IE) parser rtw_get_ie() trusted the length byte of each IE without validating that the IE body (len bytes after the 2-byte header) fits inside the remaining frame buffer. A malformed frame can advertise an IE length larger than the available data, causing the parser to increment its pointer beyond the buffer end. This results in out-of-bounds reads or, depending on the pattern, an infinite loop. Fix by validating that (offset + 2 + len) does not exceed the limit before accepting the IE or advancing to the next element. This prevents OOB reads and ensures the parser terminates safely on malformed frames. Signed-off-by: Navaneeth K Cc: stable Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: rtl8712: Remove driver using deprecated API wext

2025-12-06T21:12:45Z

commit 41e883c137ebe6eec042658ef750cbb0529f6ca8 upstream. This driver is in the staging area since 2010. The following reasons lead to the removal: - This driver generates maintenance workload for itself and for API wext - A MAC80211 driver was available in 2016 time frame; This driver does not compile anymore but would be a better starting point than the current driver. Here the note from the TODO file: A replacement for this driver with MAC80211 support is available at https://github.com/chunkeey/rtl8192su - no progress changing to mac80211 - Using this hardware is security wise not state of the art as WPA3 is not supported.
