UBUNTU-CVE-2024-56539: Low severity ubuntu/linux vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mwifiex: Fix memcpy() field-spanning write warning in mwifiexconfigscan() Replace one-element array with a flexible-array member in struct mwifiexietypeswildcardssidparams to fix the following warning on a MT8173 Chromebook (mt8173-elm-hana): [ 356.775250] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 356.784543] memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 6) of single field "wildcardssidtlv->ssid" at drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/scan.c:904 (size 1) [ 356.813403] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 742 at drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/scan.c:904 mwifiexscannetworks+0x4fc/0xf28 [mwifiex] The "(size 6)" above is exactly the length of the SSID of the network this device was connected to. The source of the warning looks like: ssidlen = userscanin->ssidlist[i].ssidlen; [...] memcpy(wildcardssidtlv->ssid, userscanin->ssidlist[i].ssid, ssidlen); There is a #define WILDCARDSSIDTLVMAXSIZE that uses sizeof() on this struct, but it already didn't account for the size of the one-element array, so it doesn't need to be changed.

Event History
Frequently Asked Questions
Which systems are relevant to this issue?
The issue is in the Linux kernel's Marvell mwifiex Wi-Fi driver. The affected Ubuntu kernel package families listed are linux, linux-fips, linux-aws, linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-aws-fips, linux-azure-fips, and linux-gcp-fips.
What conditions are involved in triggering the warning?
The warning occurs in mwifiex_config_scan() when copying an SSID into a wildcard-SSID TLV structure. The reported copy size matched the length of the SSID for the network to which the device was connected.
How can administrators identify whether this has occurred?
Look for a kernel warning from memcpy reporting a field-spanning write in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/scan.c, associated with mwifiex_scan_networks. The example report identifies the destination field as wildcard_ssid_tlv->ssid.
