commit fcd2042e8d36cf644bd2d69c26378d17158b17df upstream.

SSIDs aren't guaranteed to be 0-terminated. Let's cap the max length
when we print them out.

This can be easily noticed by connecting to a network with a 32-octet
SSID:

[ 3903.502925] mwifiex_pcie 0000:01:00.0: info: trying to associate to
'0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef &lt;uninitialized mem&gt;' bssid

commit 0c9d3491530773858ff9d705ec2a9c382f449230 upstream.

Some RTL8821AE devices sold in Great Britain have the country code of
0x25 encoded in their EEPROM. This value is not tested in the routine
that establishes the regulatory info for the chip. The fix is to set
this code to have the same capabilities as the EU countries. In addition,
the channels allowed for COUNTRY_CODE_ETSI were more properly suited
for China and Israel, not the EU. This problem has also been fixed.

commit ded89912156b1a47d940a0c954c43afbabd0c42c upstream.

User-space can choose to omit NL80211_ATTR_SSID and only provide raw
IE TLV data. When doing so it can provide SSID IE with length exceeding
the allowed size. The driver further processes this IE copying it
into a local variable without checking the length. Hence stack can be
corrupted and used as exploit.

commit f823a2aa8f4674c095a5413b9e3ba12d82df06f2 upstream.

wlc_phy_txpower_get_current() does a logical OR of power-&gt;flags, which
presumes that power.flags was initiliazed earlier by the caller,
unfortunately, this is not the case, so make sure we zero out the struct
tx_power before calling into wlc_phy_txpower_get_current().

commit d5d0689aefc59c6a5352ca25d7e6d47d03f543ce upstream.

This fixes a pretty ancient bug that hasn't manifested itself
until now.
The scratchbuf for command queue is allocated only for 32 slots
but is accessed with the queue write pointer - which can be
up to 256.
Since the scratch buf size was 16 and there are up to 256 TFDs
we never passed a page boundary when accessing the scratch buffer,
but when attempting to increase the size of the scratch buffer a
panic was quick to follow when trying to access the address resulted
in a page boundary.

commit aaab50fcea78ae3414c3afc25aae8d0603df34d0 upstream.

The function ar9003_hw_apply_minccapwr_thresh takes as second parameter not
a pointer to the channel but a boolean value describing whether the channel
is 2.4GHz or not. This broke (according to the origin commit) the ETSI
regulatory compliance on 5GHz channels.

commit 62397da50bb20a6b812c949ef465d7e69fe54bb6 upstream.

A wmediumd that does not send this attribute causes a NULL pointer
dereference, as the attribute is accessed even if it does not exist.

The attribute was required but never checked ever since userspace frame
forwarding has been introduced. The issue gets more problematic once we
allow wmediumd registration from user namespaces.
