Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> wifi: ath6kl: fix OOB read from firmware IE lengths in connect event<br /> <br /> The firmware-controlled beacon_ie_len, assoc_req_len, and assoc_resp_len<br /> fields in ath6kl_wmi_connect_event_rx() are not validated against the<br /> buffer length. Their sum (up to 765) can exceed the actual WMI event<br /> data, causing out-of-bounds reads during IE parsing and state corruption<br /> of wmi-&gt;is_wmm_enabled.<br /> <br /> Add a check that the total IE length fits within the buffer.
