Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath12k: fix out-of-bound access of qmi_invoke_handler() Currently, there is no terminator entry for ath12k_qmi_msg_handlers hence
facing below KASAN warning, ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in qmi_invoke_handler+0xa4/0x148 Read of size 8 at addr ffffffd00a6428d8 by task kworker/u8:2/1273 CPU: 0 PID: 1273 Comm: kworker/u8:2 Not tainted 5.4.213 #0 Workqueue: qmi_msg_handler qmi_data_ready_work Call trace: dump_backtrace+0x0/0x20c show_stack+0x14/0x1c dump_stack+0xe0/0x138 print_address_description.isra.5+0x30/0x330 __kasan_report+0x16c/0x1bc kasan_report+0xc/0x14 __asan_load8+0xa8/0xb0 qmi_invoke_handler+0xa4/0x148 qmi_handle_message+0x18c/0x1bc qmi_data_ready_work+0x4ec/0x528 process_one_work+0x2c0/0x440 worker_thread+0x324/0x4b8 kthread+0x210/0x228 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18 The address belongs to the variable: ath12k_mac_mon_status_filter_default+0x4bd8/0xfffffffffffe2300 [ath12k] [...] ================================================================== Add a dummy terminator entry at the end to assist the qmi_invoke_handler()
in traversing up to the terminator entry without accessing an
out-of-boundary index. Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.0.1-00029-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: wifi: ath12k: corrige el acceso fuera de los límites de qmi_invoke_handler() Actualmente, no hay ninguna entrada de terminador para ath12k_qmi_msg_handlers, por lo que se enfrenta a la siguiente advertencia de KASAN, ======== ==================================================== ======== ERROR: KASAN: global fuera de los límites en qmi_invoke_handler+0xa4/0x148 Lectura de tamaño 8 en la dirección ffffffd00a6428d8 por tarea kworker/u8:2/1273 CPU: 0 PID: 1273 Comm: kworker /u8:2 No contaminado 5.4.213 #0 Cola de trabajo: qmi_msg_handler qmi_data_ready_work Rastreo de llamadas: dump_backtrace+0x0/0x20c show_stack+0x14/0x1c dump_stack+0xe0/0x138 print_address_description.isra.5+0x30/0x330 __kasan_report+0x16 c/0x1bc kasan_report+0xc /0x14 __asan_load8+0xa8/0xb0 qmi_invoke_handler+0xa4/0x148 qmi_handle_message+0x18c/0x1bc qmi_data_ready_work+0x4ec/0x528 Process_one_work+0x2c0/0x440 trabajador_thread+0x324/0x4b8 0x228 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18 La dirección pertenece a la variable: ath12k_mac_mon_status_filter_default +0x4bd8/0xfffffffffffe2300 [ath12k] [...] ======================================= ============================ Agregue una entrada de terminador ficticia al final para ayudar a qmi_invoke_handler() a atravesar hasta la entrada del terminador sin acceder a un índice fuera de los límites.
