A firmware-reported event->len larger than the bytes\nactually received makes assoc_req_ies_len describe IEs that extend past\nevent_body, so the walk reads out of the adapter slab object, a\nslab-out-of-bounds read (KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in cfg80211_find_ie).\nAn event->len smaller than the header instead makes the int subtraction\nnegative, which wraps to a huge size_t when stored in assoc_req_ies_len.\nThe same length is handed to cfg80211_new_sta(), so a more modest\nover-claim can also copy stale event_body bytes into the\nNL80211_CMD_NEW_STATION notification.\n\nA malicious or malfunctioning mwifiex device (USB/SDIO/PCIe) can deliver\nsuch an event while the interface is in AP/uAP mode.\n\nValidate event->len before use: reject a length that underflows the\nheader or that would place the IEs outside the event_body[] buffer the\nevent was copied into.  event->len here is struct mwifiex_assoc_event.len,\na payload field internal to this event, not the transport frame length,\nso it is validated in this handler rather than at the generic\nMWIFIEX_TYPE_EVENT receive path, which only sees the event cause and the\ntransport frame length.  The bound is against event_body[MAX_EVENT_SIZE]\nrather than the actually-received length because the transports store the\nevent differently (USB and SDIO leave the 4-byte event header in\nevent_skb, PCIe strips it via skb_pull), whereas event_body is the single\nfixed buffer all of them copy the event into.  This is the event-path\nanalogue of the receive-path bounds checks added in commit 119585281617\n(\"wifi: mwifiex: Fix OOB and integer underflow when rx packets\").","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-08-10T12:03:02.372+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-19T21:09:04.965+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
