wifi: rtw88: fix device leak on probe failure

2026-04-22T11:32:18+00:00

commit bbb15e71156cd9f5e1869eee7207a06ea8e96c39 upstream.

Driver core holds a reference to the USB interface and its parent USB
device while the interface is bound to a driver and there is no need to
take additional references unless the structures are needed after
disconnect.

This driver takes a reference to the USB device during probe but does
not to release it on all probe errors (e.g. when descriptor parsing
fails).

Drop the redundant device reference to fix the leak, reduce cargo
culting, make it easier to spot drivers where an extra reference is
needed, and reduce the risk of further memory leaks.

wifi: rt2x00usb: fix devres lifetime

2026-04-07T10:34:52+00:00

USB drivers bind to USB interfaces and any device managed resources
should have their lifetime tied to the interface rather than parent USB
device. This avoids issues like memory leaks when drivers are unbound
without their devices being physically disconnected (e.g. on probe
deferral or configuration changes).

Fix the USB anchor lifetime so that it is released on driver unbind.

wifi: brcmfmac: validate bsscfg indices in IF events

2026-04-07T10:34:20+00:00

brcmf_fweh_handle_if_event() validates the firmware-provided interface
index before it touches drvr->iflist[], but it still uses the raw
bsscfgidx field as an array index without a matching range check.

Reject IF events whose bsscfg index does not fit in drvr->iflist[]
before indexing the interface array.

wifi: virt_wifi: remove SET_NETDEV_DEV to avoid use-after-free

2026-03-25T19:46:57+00:00

Currently we execute `SET_NETDEV_DEV(dev, &priv->lowerdev->dev)` for
the virt_wifi net devices. However, unregistering a virt_wifi device in
netdev_run_todo() can happen together with the device referenced by
SET_NETDEV_DEV().

It can result in use-after-free during the ethtool operations performed
on a virt_wifi device that is currently being unregistered. Such a net
device can have the `dev.parent` field pointing to the freed memory,
but ethnl_ops_begin() calls `pm_runtime_get_sync(dev->dev.parent)`.

Let's remove SET_NETDEV_DEV for virt_wifi to avoid bugs like this:

wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: fix potential out-of-bounds read in iwl_mvm_nd_match_info_handler()

2026-03-24T15:03:48+00:00

The memcpy function assumes the dynamic array notif->matches is at least
as large as the number of bytes to copy. Otherwise, results->matches may
contain unwanted data. To guarantee safety, extend the validation in one
of the checks to ensure sufficient packet length.

wifi: wl1251: validate packet IDs before indexing tx_frames

2026-03-24T14:32:31+00:00

wl1251_tx_packet_cb() uses the firmware completion ID directly to index
the fixed 16-entry wl->tx_frames[] array. The ID is a raw u8 from the
completion block, and the callback does not currently verify that it
fits the array before dereferencing it.

Reject completion IDs that fall outside wl->tx_frames[] and keep the
existing NULL check in the same guard. This keeps the fix local to the
trust boundary and avoids touching the rest of the completion flow.

wifi: wilc1000: fix u8 overflow in SSID scan buffer size calculation

2026-03-24T14:32:14+00:00

The variable valuesize is declared as u8 but accumulates the total
length of all SSIDs to scan. Each SSID contributes up to 33 bytes
(IEEE80211_MAX_SSID_LEN + 1), and with WILC_MAX_NUM_PROBED_SSID (10)
SSIDs the total can reach 330, which wraps around to 74 when stored
in a u8.

This causes kmalloc to allocate only 75 bytes while the subsequent
memcpy writes up to 331 bytes into the buffer, resulting in a 256-byte
heap buffer overflow.

Widen valuesize from u8 to u32 to accommodate the full range.
