From 72ad25fbbb78930f892b191637359ab5b94b3190 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Atul Gopinathan Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2021 17:04:12 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] staging: rtl8192e: Fix incorrect source in memcpy() The variable "info_element" is of the following type: struct rtllib_info_element *info_element defined in drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtllib.h: struct rtllib_info_element { u8 id; u8 len; u8 data[]; } __packed; The "len" field defines the size of the "data[]" array. The code is supposed to check if "info_element->len" is greater than 4 and later equal to 6. If this is satisfied then, the last two bytes (the 4th and 5th element of u8 "data[]" array) are copied into "network->CcxRmState". Right now the code uses "memcpy()" with the source as "&info_element[4]" which would copy in wrong and unintended information. The struct "rtllib_info_element" has a size of 2 bytes for "id" and "len", therefore indexing will be done in interval of 2 bytes. So, "info_element[4]" would point to data which is beyond the memory allocated for this pointer (that is, at x+8, while "info_element" has been allocated only from x to x+7 (2 + 6 => 8 bytes)). This patch rectifies this error by using "&info_element->data[4]" which correctly copies the last two bytes of "data[]". NOTE: The faulty line of code came from the following commit: commit ecdfa44610fa ("Staging: add Realtek 8192 PCI wireless driver") The above commit created the file `rtl8192e/ieee80211/ieee80211_rx.c` which had the faulty line of code. This file has been deleted (or possibly renamed) with the contents copied in to a new file `rtl8192e/rtllib_rx.c` along with additional code in the commit 94a799425eee (tagged in Fixes).

The "CcxRmState" field is fed only 2 bytes of data using memcpy(): (In rtllib_rx.c:1972) memcpy(network->CcxRmState, &info_element->data[4], 2) With "info_element->data[]" being a u8 array, if 2 bytes are written into "CcxRmState" (whose one element is u16 size), then the 2 u8 elements from "data[]" gets squashed and written into the first element ("CcxRmState[0]") while the second element ("CcxRmState[1]") is never fed with any data. Same in file rtllib_rx.c:2522: memcpy(dst->CcxRmState, src->CcxRmState, 2); The above line duplicates "src" data to "dst" but only writes 2 bytes (and not 4, which is the actual size). Again, only 1st element gets the value while the 2nd element remains uninitialized. This later makes operations done with CcxRmState unpredictable in the following lines as the 1st element is having a squashed number while the 2nd element is having an uninitialized random number. rtllib_rx.c:1973: if (network->CcxRmState[0] != 0) rtllib_rx.c:1977: network->MBssidMask = network->CcxRmState[1] & 0x07; network->MBssidMask is also of type u8 and not u16. Fix this by changing the type of "CcxRmState" from u16 to u8 so that the data written into this array and read from it make sense and are not random values. NOTE: The wrong initialization of "CcxRmState" can be seen in the following commit: commit ecdfa44610fa ("Staging: add Realtek 8192 PCI wireless driver") The above commit created a file `rtl8192e/ieee80211.h` which used to have the faulty line.
