Subject: [PATCH wireless 1/3] wifi: nxpwifi: validate HE capability TLV length in firmware response
Date: Mon,  2 Nov 2026 12:48:52 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102124854.325979-2-tristmd@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102124854.325979-1-tristmd@gmail.com>

From: Tristan Madani <tristan@talencesecurity.com>

nxpwifi_ret_11ax_cfg() parses TLV data from firmware without checking
that each TLV's declared length fits within the remaining buffer. A
firmware response with an oversized TLV length causes reads past the
response buffer.

Add a bounds check that the TLV header plus its declared length does
not exceed the remaining data before processing the TLV contents.

Fixes: 73b01e57ed3e ("wifi: nxp: add nxpwifi driver for IW61x")
