CVE-2024-56539

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mwifiex: Fix memcpy() field-spanning write warning in mwifiex_config_scan() Replace one-element array with a flexible-array member in `struct mwifiex_ie_types_wildcard_ssid_params` to fix the following warning on a MT8173 Chromebook (mt8173-elm-hana): [ 356.775250] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 356.784543] memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 6) of single field "wildcard_ssid_tlv->ssid" at drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/scan.c:904 (size 1) [ 356.813403] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 742 at drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/scan.c:904 mwifiex_scan_networks+0x4fc/0xf28 [mwifiex] The "(size 6)" above is exactly the length of the SSID of the network this device was connected to. The source of the warning looks like: ssid_len = user_scan_in->ssid_list[i].ssid_len; [...] memcpy(wildcard_ssid_tlv->ssid, user_scan_in->ssid_list[i].ssid, ssid_len); There is a #define WILDCARD_SSID_TLV_MAX_SIZE that uses sizeof() on this struct, but it already didn't account for the size of the one-element array, so it doesn't need to be changed.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: wifi: mwifiex: Se corrige la advertencia de escritura que abarca el campo memcpy() en mwifiex_config_scan() Reemplace la matriz de un elemento con un miembro de matriz flexible en `struct mwifiex_ie_types_wildcard_ssid_params` para corregir la siguiente advertencia en una Chromebook MT8173 (mt8173-elm-hana): [ 356.775250] ------------[ cortar aquí ]------------ [ 356.784543] memcpy: se detectó escritura que abarca el campo (tamaño 6) del campo único "wildcard_ssid_tlv->ssid" en drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/scan.c:904 (tamaño 1) [ 356.813403] ADVERTENCIA: CPU: 3 PID: 742 en drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/scan.c:904 mwifiex_scan_networks+0x4fc/0xf28 [mwifiex] El "(tamaño 6)" anterior es exactamente la longitud del SSID de la red a la que estaba conectado este dispositivo. La fuente de la advertencia se ve así: ssid_len = user_scan_in->ssid_list[i].ssid_len; [...] memcpy(wildcard_ssid_tlv->ssid, user_scan_in->ssid_list[i].ssid, ssid_len); Hay un #define WILDCARD_SSID_TLV_MAX_SIZE que usa sizeof() en esta estructura, pero ya no tenía en cuenta el tamaño de la matriz de un elemento, por lo que no es necesario cambiarlo.
