wifi: mac80211: fix beacon interval calculation overflow

[ Upstream commit 7a3750ff0f2e8fee338a9c168f429f6c37f0e820 ] As we are converting from TU to usecs, a beacon interval of 100*1024 usecs will lead to integer wrapping. To fix change to use a u32.

wifi: mac80211: wake the queues in case of failure in resume

2025-01-09T12:25:04Z

[ Upstream commit 220bf000530f9b1114fa2a1022a871c7ce8a0b38 ] In case we fail to resume, we'll WARN with "Hardware became unavailable during restart." and we'll wait until user space does something. It'll typically bring the interface down and up to recover. This won't work though because the queues are still stopped on IEEE80211_QUEUE_STOP_REASON_SUSPEND reason. Make sure we clear that reason so that we give a chance to the recovery to succeed.

mac80211: Add support to trigger sta disconnect on hardware restart

2024-11-08T15:22:01Z

[ Upstream commit 7d352ccf1e9935b5222ca84e8baeb07a0c8f94b9 ] Currently in case of target hardware restart, we just reconfig and re-enable the security keys and enable the network queues to start data traffic back from where it was interrupted. Many ath10k wifi chipsets have sequence numbers for the data packets assigned by firmware and the mac sequence number will restart from zero after target hardware restart leading to mismatch in the sequence number expected by the remote peer vs the sequence number of the frame sent by the target firmware. This mismatch in sequence number will cause out-of-order packets on the remote peer and all the frames sent by the device are dropped until we reach the sequence number which was sent before we restarted the target hardware In order to fix this, we trigger a sta disconnect, in case of target hw restart. After this there will be a fresh connection and thereby avoiding the dropping of frames by remote peer. The right fix would be to pull the entire data path into the host which is not feasible or would need lots of complex changes and will still be inefficient.

mac80211: do drv_reconfig_complete() before restarting all

2024-11-08T15:22:01Z

[ Upstream commit 13dee10b30c058ee2c58c5da00339cc0d4201aa6 ] When we reconfigure, the driver might do some things to complete the reconfiguration. It's strange and could be broken in some cases because we restart other works (e.g. remain-on-channel and TX) before this happens, yet only start queues later. Change this to do the reconfig complete when reconfiguration is actually complete, not when we've already started doing other things again. For iwlwifi, this should fix a race where the reconfig can race with TX, for ath10k and ath11k that also use this it won't make a difference because they just start queues there, and mac80211 also stopped the queues and will restart them later as before.

wifi: mac80211: fix MBSSID parsing use-after-free

2022-10-17T15:26:07Z

Commit ff05d4b45dd89b922578dac497dcabf57cf771c6 upstream. This is a different version of the commit, changed to store the non-transmitted profile in the elems, and freeing it in the few places where it's relevant, since that is only the case when the last argument for parsing (the non-tx BSSID) is non-NULL. When we parse a multi-BSSID element, we might point some element pointers into the allocated nontransmitted_profile. However, we free this before returning, causing UAF when the relevant pointers in the parsed elements are accessed. Fix this by not allocating the scratch buffer separately but as part of the returned structure instead, that way, there are no lifetime issues with it. The scratch buffer introduction as part of the returned data here is taken from MLO feature work done by Ilan. This fixes CVE-2022-42719.

mac80211: mlme: find auth challenge directly

2022-10-17T15:26:07Z

There's no need to parse all elements etc. just to find the authentication challenge - use cfg80211_find_elem() instead. This also allows us to remove WLAN_EID_CHALLENGE handling from the element parsing entirely.

wifi: cfg80211/mac80211: reject bad MBSSID elements

2022-10-15T05:55:55Z

commit 8f033d2becc24aa6bfd2a5c104407963560caabc upstream. Per spec, the maximum value for the MaxBSSID ('n') indicator is 8, and the minimum is 1 since a multiple BSSID set with just one BSSID doesn't make sense (the # of BSSIDs is limited by 2^n). Limit this in the parsing in both cfg80211 and mac80211, rejecting any elements with an invalid value. This fixes potentially bad shifts in the processing of these inside the cfg80211_gen_new_bssid() function later. I found this during the investigation of CVE-2022-41674 fixed by the previous patch.

mac80211: Allow HE operation to be longer than expected.

2021-03-30T12:32:00Z

[ Upstream commit 0f7e90faddeef53a3568f449a0c3992d77510b66 ] We observed some Cisco APs sending the following HE Operation IE in associate response: ff 0a 24 f4 3f 00 01 fc ff 00 00 00 Its HE operation parameter is 0x003ff4, so the expected total length is 7 which does not match the actual length = 10. This causes association failing with "HE AP is missing HE Capability/operation." According to P802.11ax_D4 Table9-94, HE operation is extensible, and according to 802.11-2016 10.27.8, STA should discard the part beyond the maximum length and parse the truncated element. Allow HE operation element to be longer than expected to handle this case and future extensions.
