Subject: [PATCH wireless 1/2] wifi: brcmfmac: zero-pad SDIO write to 4-byte boundary
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 12:23:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102122311.181075-2-tristmd@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102122311.181075-1-tristmd@gmail.com>
From: Tristan Madani <tristan@talencesecurity.com>
brcmf_sdiod_skbuff_write() rounds skb->len up to the next 4-byte
boundary and passes the larger size to sdio_memcpy_toio(). The 1-3
extra bytes come from heap memory past skb->data, leaking stale kernel
data to the wireless device.
Zero-fill the padding before the SDIO write.
Fixes: 8f13c87ccc49 ("brcmfmac: Split brcmf_sdiod_buffrw function up.")
