- Summary
- wifi: nl80211: fix bounds checker error in nl80211_parse_sched_scan
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: nl80211: fix bounds checker error in nl80211parsesched_scan
The channels array in the cfg80211scanrequest has a _countedby attribute attached to it, which points to the nchannels variable. This attribute is used in bounds checking, and if it is not set before the array is filled, then the bounds sanitizer will issue a warning or a kernel panic if CONFIGUBSAN_TRAP is set.
This patch sets the size of allocated memory as the initial value for n_channels. It is updated with the actual number of added elements after the array is filled.
