wifi: cfg80211: wext: fix IGTK key ID off-by-one

2026-03-04T12:20:10Z

[ Upstream commit c8d7f21ead727485ebf965e2b4d42d4a4f0840f6 ] The IGTK key ID must be 4 or 5, but the code checks against key ID + 1, so must check against 5/6 rather than 4/5. Fix that.

wifi: cfg80211: stop NAN and P2P in cfg80211_leave

2026-03-04T12:19:33Z

[ Upstream commit e1696c8bd0056bc1a5f7766f58ac333adc203e8a ] Seems that there is an assumption that this function should be called only for netdev interfaces, but it can also be called in suspend, or from nl80211_netlink_notify (indirectly). Note that the documentation of NL80211_ATTR_SOCKET_OWNER explicitly says that NAN interfaces would be destroyed as well in the nl80211_netlink_notify case. Fix this by also stopping P2P and NAN.

wifi: cfg80211: Fix bitrate calculation overflow for HE rates

2026-02-11T12:34:23Z

[ Upstream commit a3034bf0746d88a00cceda9541534a5721445a24 ] An integer overflow occurs in cfg80211_calculate_bitrate_he() when calculating bitrates for high throughput HE configurations. For example, with 160 MHz bandwidth, HE-MCS 13, HE-NSS 4, and HE-GI 0, the multiplication (result * rate->nss) overflows the 32-bit 'result' variable before division by 8, leading to significantly underestimated bitrate values. The overflow occurs because the NSS multiplication operates on a 32-bit integer that cannot accommodate intermediate values exceeding 4,294,967,295. When overflow happens, the value wraps around, producing incorrect bitrates for high MCS and NSS combinations. Fix this by utilizing the 64-bit 'tmp' variable for the NSS multiplication and subsequent divisions via do_div(). This approach preserves full precision throughout the entire calculation, with the final value assigned to 'result' only after completing all operations.

wifi: nl80211: reject cooked mode if it is set along with other flags

2025-03-13T11:47:37Z

commit 49f27f29446a5bfe633dd2cc0cfebd48a1a5e77f upstream. It is possible to set both MONITOR_FLAG_COOK_FRAMES and MONITOR_FLAG_ACTIVE flags simultaneously on the same monitor interface from the userspace. This causes a sub-interface to be created with no IEEE80211_SDATA_IN_DRIVER bit set because the monitor interface is in the cooked state and it takes precedence over all other states. When the interface is then being deleted the kernel calls WARN_ONCE() from check_sdata_in_driver() because of missing that bit. Fix this by rejecting MONITOR_FLAG_COOK_FRAMES if it is set along with other flags. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

wifi: cfg80211: regulatory: improve invalid hints checking

2025-03-13T11:47:37Z

commit 59b348be7597c4a9903cb003c69e37df20c04a30 upstream. Syzbot keeps reporting an issue [1] that occurs when erroneous symbols sent from userspace get through into user_alpha2[] via regulatory_hint_user() call. Such invalid regulatory hints should be rejected. While a sanity check from commit 47caf685a685 ("cfg80211: regulatory: reject invalid hints") looks to be enough to deter these very cases, there is a way to get around it due to 2 reasons. 1) The way isalpha() works, symbols other than latin lower and upper letters may be used to determine a country/domain. For instance, greek letters will also be considered upper/lower letters and for such characters isalpha() will return true as well. However, ISO-3166-1 alpha2 codes should only hold latin characters. 2) While processing a user regulatory request, between reg_process_hint_user() and regulatory_hint_user() there happens to be a call to queue_regulatory_request() which modifies letters in request->alpha2[] with toupper(). This works fine for latin symbols, less so for weird letter characters from the second part of _ctype[]. Syzbot triggers a warning in is_user_regdom_saved() by first sending over an unexpected non-latin letter that gets malformed by toupper() into a character that ends up failing isalpha() check. Prevent this by enhancing is_an_alpha2() to ensure that incoming symbols are latin letters and nothing else.

[ Upstream commit 0fca7784b7a14d4ede64f479662afb98876ec7f8 ] When the scan parameters for a 6GHz scan specify a unicast BSSID address, and the corresponding AP is found in the scan list, add a corresponding entry in the collocated AP list, so this AP would be directly probed even if it was not advertised as a collocated AP. This is needed for handling a scan request that is intended for a ML probe flow, where user space can requests a scan to retrieve information for other links in the AP MLD.
