GHSA-3wqm-wgx2-9367: Heap buffer overflow on WireGuard receive path via unbounded incoming packet length
In Zephyr's WireGuard subsystem (subsys/net/lib/wireguard), wgprocessdatamessage() in wgcrypto.c linearizes an inbound transport-data payload into a fixed pool buffer of CONFIGWIREGUARDBUFLEN bytes before decryption. The call netbuflinearize(buf->data, datalen, pkt->buffer, ..., datalen) passed the attacker-derived datalen as both the destination capacity and the copy length, defeating the function's internal len = min(len, dstlen) bound. datalen is derived from the received UDP datagram length and is only lower-bounded by wgctrlrecv() (no upper bound). When datalen exceeds CONFIGWIREGUARDBUFLEN — e.g. when the buffer length is lowered below the link MTU, on links with MTU above the buffer size, or via reassembled IPv4/IPv6 fragments that exceed it — the underlying memcpy writes past the end of the pool buffer, an out-of-bounds write (CWE-787). The overflow occurs before the Poly1305 authentication check, so it requires only a valid receiver session index rather than a valid authenticator, and is reachable by a malicious or compromised peer (or an on-path attacker driving an established session) over the network, yielding remote memory corruption and at minimum a reliable denial of service. The defect was present in the WireGuard implementation shipped in Zephyr 4.4.0. The fix adds an explicit datalen > CONFIGWIREGUARDBUFLEN rejection and corrects the linearize call to pass netbufmaxlen(buf) as the destination capacity.
