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

2026-03-04T12:20:59Z

[ 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

2026-03-04T12:19:44Z

[ 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

2026-02-11T12:39:12Z

[ 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: prevent A-MSDU attacks in mesh networks

2025-07-17T16:35:13Z

commit 737bb912ebbe4571195c56eba557c4d7315b26fb upstream. This patch is a mitigation to prevent the A-MSDU spoofing vulnerability for mesh networks. The initial update to the IEEE 802.11 standard, in response to the FragAttacks, missed this case (CVE-2025-27558). It can be considered a variant of CVE-2020-24588 but for mesh networks. This patch tries to detect if a standard MSDU was turned into an A-MSDU by an adversary. This is done by parsing a received A-MSDU as a standard MSDU, calculating the length of the Mesh Control header, and seeing if the 6 bytes after this header equal the start of an rfc1042 header. If equal, this is a strong indication of an ongoing attack attempt. This defense was tested with mac80211_hwsim against a mesh network that uses an empty Mesh Address Extension field, i.e., when four addresses are used, and when using a 12-byte Mesh Address Extension field, i.e., when six addresses are used. Functionality of normal MSDUs and A-MSDUs was also tested, and confirmed working, when using both an empty and 12-byte Mesh Address Extension field. It was also tested with mac80211_hwsim that A-MSDU attacks in non-mesh networks keep being detected and prevented. Note that the vulnerability being patched, and the defense being implemented, was also discussed in the following paper and in the following IEEE 802.11 presentation: https://papers.mathyvanhoef.com/wisec2025.pdf https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/25/11-25-0949-00-000m-a-msdu-mesh-spoof-protection.docx Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Mathy Vanhoef Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250616004635.224344-1-Mathy.Vanhoef@kuleuven.be Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
