Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
rtw88: Fix array overrun in rtw_get_tx_power_params()<br />
<br />
Using a kernel with the Undefined Behaviour Sanity Checker (UBSAN) enabled, the<br />
following array overrun is logged:<br />
<br />

================================================================================<br />
<br />
The statement where an array is being overrun is shown in the following snippet:<br />
<br />
if (rate cck_base[group];<br />
else<br />
====> tx_power = pwr_idx_2g->bw40_base[group];<br />
<br />
The associated arrays are defined in main.h as follows:<br />
<br />
struct rtw_2g_txpwr_idx {<br />
u8 cck_base[6];<br />
u8 bw40_base[5];<br />
struct rtw_2g_1s_pwr_idx_diff ht_1s_diff;<br />
struct rtw_2g_ns_pwr_idx_diff ht_2s_diff;<br />
struct rtw_2g_ns_pwr_idx_diff ht_3s_diff;<br />
struct rtw_2g_ns_pwr_idx_diff ht_4s_diff;<br />
};<br />
<br />
The problem arises because the value of group is 5 for channel 14. The trivial<br />
increase in the dimension of bw40_base fails as this struct must match the layout of<br />
efuse. The fix is to add the rate as an argument to rtw_get_channel_group() and set<br />
the group for channel 14 to 4 if rate
