Subject: [PATCH] wifi: ath11k: Reject short management RX frames
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 19:40:37 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260926114037.3231795-1-yaojiale02@163.com> (raw)

ath11k_pull_mgmt_rx_params_tlv() verifies that the firmware-reported frame
length fits in the WMI event, but does not ensure that it can hold an IEEE
802.11 management header. It then sets skb->len to that reported length.

ath11k_mgmt_rx_event() subsequently reads frame_control and other header
fields without another length check. A firmware event with a short buf_len
can therefore cause an out-of-bounds read.

Reject frames shorter than a three-address IEEE 802.11 header before
adjusting the skb to expose the frame.

Fixes: d5c65159f289 ("ath11k: driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices")
