commit 5ee58d7e6ad019675b4090582aec4fa1180d8703 upstream.

The minstrel rate controller periodically looks up rate indexes in
a sampling table.  When accessing a specific row and column, minstrel
correctly does a bounds check which, on the surface, appears to handle
the case where mi->n_rates < 2.  However, mi->sample_idx is actually
defined as an unsigned, so the right hand side is taken to be a huge
positive number when negative, and the check will always fail.

Consequently, the RC will overrun the array and cause random memory
corruption when communicating with a peer that has only a single rate.
The max value of mi->sample_idx is around 25 so casting to int should
have no ill effects.

Without the change, uptime is a few minutes under load with an AP
that has a single hard-coded rate, and both the AP and STA could
potentially crash.  With the change, both lasted 12 hours with a
steady load.

Thanks to Ognjen Maric for providing the single-rate clue so I could
reproduce this.

This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12490 on the
regression list (also http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13000).

commit 621ad7c96aa138cfeab53cd4debc5a4e08b2189b upstream.

"There is another problem with this piece of code. The sband will be NULL
after second iteration on single band device and cause null pointer
dereference. Everything is working with dual band card. Sorry, but i
don't know how to explain this clearly in English. I have looked on the
second patch for pid algorithm and found similar bug."

commit 6909268dc93ae4b0b8e1ebb4b2fa70b1a47dd347 upstream.

pid doesn't count with some band having more bitrates than the one
associated the first time.
Fix that by counting the maximal available bitrate count and allocate
big enough space.

Secondly, fix touching uninitialized memory which causes panics.
Index sucked from this random memory points to the hell.
The fix is to sort the rates on each band change.

commit 8e532175277d9a5eae49768ed086555081f741a7 upstream.

minstrel doesn't count max rate count in fact, since it doesn't use
a loop variable `i' and hence allocs space only for bitrates found in
the first band.

Fix it by involving the `i' as an index so that it traverses all the
bands now and finds the real max bitrate count.

"mac80211: fix basic rates setting from association response"
introduced a copy/paste error.

Unfortunately, this not just leads to wrong data being passed
to the driver but is remotely exploitable for some hardware or
driver combinations.

upstream commit: b3631286aca3f54427ca0eb950981e9753866f6c

Currently rx status for frames which are completed from reorder buffer
is taken from it's cb area which is not always right, cb is not holding
the rx status when driver uses mac80211's non-irq rx handler to pass it's
received frames. This results in dropping almost all frames from reorder
buffer when security is enabled by doing double decryption (first in hw,
second in sw because of wrong rx status). This patch copies rx status into
cb area before the frame is put into reorder buffer. After this patch,
there is a significant improvement in throughput with ath9k + WPA2(AES).

It was possible to hit a kernel panic on NULL pointer dereference in
dev_queue_xmit() when sending power save buffered frames to a STA that
woke up from sleep. This happened when the buffered frame was requeued
for transmission in ap_sta_ps_end(). In order to avoid the panic, copy
the skb->dev and skb->iif values from the first fragment to all other
fragments.

We try to find the correct outgoing interface for injected frames
based on the TA, but since this is a hack for hostapd 11w, restrict
the heuristic to AP mode interfaces. At some point we'll add the
ability to give an interface index in radiotap or so and just
remove this heuristic again.
