CVE-2024-46755: wifi: mwifiex: Do not return unused priv in mwifiex_get_priv_by_id()

Published Sep 18, 2024

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: mwifiex: Do not return unused priv in mwifiexgetprivbyid()

mwifiexgetprivbyid() returns the priv pointer corresponding to the bssnum and bsstype, but without checking if the priv is actually currently in use. Unused priv pointers do not have a wiphy attached to them which can lead to NULL pointer dereferences further down the callstack. Fix this by returning only used priv pointers which have priv->bssmode set to something else than NL80211IFTYPEUNSPECIFIED.

Said NULL pointer dereference happened when an Accesspoint was started with wpasupplicant -i mlan0 with this config:

network={ ssid="somessid" mode=2 frequency=2412 keymgmt=WPA-PSK WPA-PSK-SHA256 proto=RSN group=CCMP pairwise=CCMP psk="12345678" }

When waiting for the AP to be established, interrupting wpasupplicant with <ctrl-c> and starting it again this happens:

Configuration
In mwifiex_get_priv_by_id(), change logic to return only priv pointers that are actually in use by checking priv->bss_mode and returning privs only when priv->bss_mode is something other than NL80211_IFTYPE_UNSPECIFIED (do not return unused priv pointers without checking).
mwifiex_get_priv_by_id() (Linux kernel wifi: mwifiex) Return only used priv pointers = priv->bss_mode != NL80211_IFTYPE_UNSPECIFIED
Compensating control
To avoid triggering the NULL pointer dereference during access point establishment, do not interrupt wpa_supplicant with <ctrl-c> and restart it immediately while bringing up the AP (example reproduction: wpa_supplicant -i mlan0 in mode=2 with the provided network={} config).
