ieee80211: fix TKIP QoS bug

2007-11-16T16:27:38Z

patch e797aa1b7da6bfcb2e19a10ae5ead9aa7aea732b in mainline. The commit 65b6a277 titled "ieee80211: Fix header->qos_ctl endian issue" *introduced* an endianness bug. Partially revert it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

softmac: fix wext MLME request reason code endianness

2007-11-16T16:27:37Z

patch 94e10bfb8a7372df3ef2759c9ec2a37de2f24aca in mainline. The MLME request reason code is host-endian and our passing it to the low level functions is host-endian as well since they do the swapping. I noticed that the reason code 768 was sent (0x300) rather than 3 when wpa_supplicant terminates. This removes the superfluous cpu_to_le16() call. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.

[IEEE80211]: avoid integer underflow for runt rx frames

2007-10-02T04:03:54Z

Reported by Chris Evans : > The summary is that an evil 80211 frame can crash out a victim's > machine. It only applies to drivers using the 80211 wireless code, and > only then to certain drivers (and even then depends on a card's > firmware not dropping a dubious packet). I must confess I'm not > keeping track of Linux wireless support, and the different protocol > stacks etc. > > Details are as follows: > > ieee80211_rx() does not explicitly check that "skb->len >= hdrlen". > There are other skb->len checks, but not enough to prevent a subtle > off-by-two error if the frame has the IEEE80211_STYPE_QOS_DATA flag > set. > > This leads to integer underflow and crash here: > > if (frag != 0) > flen -= hdrlen; > > (flen is subsequently used as a memcpy length parameter).

[PATCH] softmac: Fix inability to associate with WEP networks

2007-09-21T15:26:33Z

Commit 4cf92a3c was submitted as a fix for bug #8686 at bugzilla.kernel.org (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8686). Unfortunately, the fix led to a new bug, reported by Yoshifuji Hideaki, that prevented association for WEP encrypted networks that use ifconfig to control the device. This patch effectively reverts the earlier commit and does a proper fix for bug #8686. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

[PATCH] softmac: Fix deadlock of wx_set_essid with assoc work

2007-08-06T19:06:03Z

The essid wireless extension does deadlock against the assoc mutex, as we don't unlock the assoc mutex when flushing the workqueue, which also holds the lock. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

[PATCH] softmac: Channel is listed twice in scan output

2007-07-18T01:56:17Z

SoftMAC outputs the channel twice in the scan output. It should display frequency and channel, but only once for each. Signed-off-by: Jean Tourrilhes Signed-off-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

[PATCH] softmac: Fix ESSID problem

2007-07-10T18:27:00Z

Victor Porton reported that the SoftMAC layer had random problem when setting the ESSID : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8686 After investigation, it turned out to be worse, the SoftMAC layer is left in an inconsistent state. The fix is pretty trivial. Signed-off-by: Jean Tourrilhes Acked-by: Michael Buesch Acked-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: John W. Linville
